Abstract
The last several years have witnesses sudden extraordinary rise in the popularity of Euripides. Greek tragedy in general has attracted scholars across the millennia. Production of Greek tragedy are a curiously persistent feature of our culture. If Euripidean plays once tended to be dismissed as decadent, melodramatic or somehow "untragic", they have come increasingly to seem appealing to modern literacy tastes and their vision of the world has in certain regards become more and more an uncanny anticipation of our own.
