Euripides is one of the three major tragedians of the Golden Age of Greek drama, considered by both ancient and modern critics to be a groundbreaking, innovative, and unconventional playwright. He was born in the eastern part of Athens sometime in the 480s BC. Little is known about Euripides' life. His first play was performed a year after Aeschylus died in 455 BC, and he came in third place in the Athens Dionysian theatrical competition. Euripides' first major achievement came in 441 when he won first place in the competition. It is said that he wrote more than 90 plays, of which 19 survive today. The last time he competed in Athens was in 408 BC, with his play Orestes. He then went to Macedonia and the court of Archelaus and wrote a play named after this king. Euripides died in Macedonia in 406, while writing the play The Priestesses of Bacchus.
