Summary

Continuing with the life of Euripides we look closer at 5th Century Athens and how the events happening around Euripides likely influenced his writing and the stories he wanted to tell.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
