There is desire / in those who love to hear about · Eurípides

There is desire / in those who love to hear about their loved ones’ pains.

More by Eurípides

To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter. ♥ 1 Blood's thicker than water, and when one’s in trouble / Best to seek out a relative’s open arms. ♥ 2 There is no harbor of peace / From the changing waves of joy and despair. This is what it means / to be a slave: to be abused and bear it, / compelled by violence to suffer wrong.

Euripides (c. 480 – 406 BCE) was one of the three great tragedians of Ancient Greece, along with Aeschylus and Sophocles. He wrote around 92 plays, of which only 18 have survived in their entirety. His tragedies are known for their psychological realism, the introduction of more complex characters, and the exploration of social and philosophical themes, often questioning the conventions and morality of his time. Euripides is frequently praised for his theatrical innovation, for the introduction of explanatory prologues, and for the use of the chorus in more varied ways. His works continue to be studied and performed to this day, influencing Western theater.
