The unruly, uncontainable, form-defying poet of antiquity:

EURIPIDES

• He was anti-war.
• He was a proto-feminist. (Ahead of some modern feminist positions)
• The other poets had “heroes”; he had “humans”.
• He questioned society, questioned the state, and questioned tragedy as a genre.
• He used psychology before psychology was even named.
• He could not be confined within Athens’ narrow molds, and left it saying “do as you please”.
