The youngest of Athens' three great tragedians, known for bringing a new realism and psychological depth to the stage, giving voice to women, outsiders, and the irrational forces that drive human beings. Plays like Medea and The Bacchae questioned the gods and social conventions so sharply that he was both controversial in his own time and the most widely read tragedian in the centuries that followed.
