Euripides and the Greek View of Tragedy

Abstract: A 10 page research paper that examines two plays by Euripides, "The Bacchae" and "The Women of Troy." The writer argues that the Greeks expressed a finely tuned sense of humanity's place in the cosmos. By overstepping those boundaries, indulging in too much pride, or disregarding the subservience owed to the gods, one could easily encounter a tragic fate. When both of these plays are examined within this framework, they support the idea that the Greeks held this worldview toward the topic of tragedy. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
