By: Tommy, E...Sophocles, Aeschylus, & Euripides<br />By: Tommy, Emily, Courtney, Deneshia<br /><br />Sophocles<br /><br />Sophocles work is considered the pinnacle of greek tragedy. He stared as an actor but he was unable to continue due to problems with his voice. he created the cult of the God Asclepius in 420 BCE. Sophocles wrote around 123 plays for the Arthenian theatre, and won 24 festivals. He placed second in every festival that he did not win.<br /><br />Aeschylus<br /><br />Aeschylus had a brother named Cynegeirus but he died fighting at Marathon. Aeschylus was the first of the three classical playwrights of 5th century Athens. He wrote between 60 and 90 plays. His first win at the drama festival (city Dionysia) came in 484 BCE. He was prosecuted for revealing the mysteries of Eleusis in one of his plays, but he was proven innocent. Aeschylus was driven from the city by growing social and political unrest. <br /><br />Euripides<br /><br />Euripides wrote 92 plays, but most people know only 80 of them. He was the last of Athens' great tragic poets. He took part in the sophist movement and lived as a recluse. Which is a person that does not go out in the public. Euripides left Athens in 408 BCE at request of King Archelaus of Macedon. <br /><br />Resources:<br />www.livius.org/gi-gr/Greeks/authors.html<br />www.watson.org~Leigh/drama.html<br />classics.us.edu/~Johnson/tragedy/<br />Academic.reed.edu/humanities/110teach/theater.html<br />www.gradesaver.com/author/sophocles/Courtney Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922631158210312649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749659997783758057.post-16972277318914971022012-02-09T19:46:18.719-08:002012-02-09T19:46:18.719-08:00Ancient Greece
