 | According to tradition, Euripides was born in Salamís on September 23, about 480 bc, the day of the great naval battle between the Greeks and the Persians. |
| His plays began to be performed in the Attic drama festivals in 454 bc, but it was not until 442 bc that he won first prize. |
| Euripides’ plays were criticized for their unconventionality, for their natural dialogue (his heroes and princes spoke the language of everyday life), and for their independence from traditional religious and moral values. |
