  • Summary

  • Like most things Euripides wrote, his treatment of the Olympian gods and what they were capable of (and best of all, how that's received by mortals) is absolutely ripe for interpretation. Euripides walked the line of impiety and seemed to have a ball.

    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.

    Sources: The Masque of Dionysus by Helen P Foley; Isabelle Torrance's Euripides; Mary Lefkowitz' Euripides and the Gods; passages read from Hippolytus and Helen, translated by EP Coleridge; Ion, translated by Cecelia Eaton Luschnig; and Bacchae, translated by T. A. Buckley, revised by Alex Sens, and further revised by Gregory Nagy.
