Euripides' Life and Times

Euripides is the most modern of Greek dramatists, examining issues, which are still important today: women's status in society, the rights of minorities and the abominations of war. The film traces the development of the Greek theatre, explores daily life in Athens, and links the atrocities of warring Athens with Euripides' great tragedy, The Trojan Women. 38 minutes, color, sound.
