Equally feminist and misogynistic. A capsule of the time in which it was written. Shocking and thought provoking. Definitely unforgettable.

Medea and Hippolytus are excellent Aristotelian tragedies. Alcestis brings up some hard questions, like what kind of man would let his wife die for him? Heracles is a disjointed tragedy but is a moving portrait of an aging hero stricken with misfortune. Cyclops has some funny bits and is the only extant satyr play. The Heracleidae and Iphigenia in Tauris were merely average.
