Question

The plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides reflected the social values and attitudes of classical Greeks yet one introduced strong female characters in his plays. Which playwright was bold enough to do so and select his play.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is that the Greek writer, who first, and best, used strong female characters in his plays, was Euripides.

Euripides, in fact, has been known throughout history as the writer who reshaped the way that plays were written in Greece, as he not only used to portray strong women, who defied the social norms of his time, but also, he turned slaves into intelligent people (something that was completely unheard of at the time) and finally, he dared to use satire to ridicule many of the mythological heroes of Greece. Euripides´ plays were, as a matter of fact, sometimes so socially evolved, that in his time, some were prohibitted and censored.

There are many plays by this Greek writer that are pretty well known, but probably one of the best known today, is "Medea", a tragedy where a woman, Medea, plans the murder of her own husband, Jason, for having cheated on her with another woman (something that Greek society did not support, as male fidelity was considered ridiculous).
