‘Given this strong strain of social realism, Euripides shows moments of brilliant insight into his characters, especially in scenes of love * and madness. His depictions of women deserve particular attention; it is easy to extract from his plays a long list of heroines who are fierce, treacherous, or adulterous, or all three at once.’
