About the authors

Richard G. (Richard Green) Moulton

1849–1924

An English scholar who helped bring literature to wider audiences through public lectures, teaching, and lively literary study. Best known for treating the Bible and world classics as works of literature, he wrote in a way meant to open books up rather than fence readers out.

Aeschylus

-525–-456

A pioneer of ancient Greek tragedy, this playwright helped shape the dramatic form that later inspired centuries of theater. His surviving works, especially the Oresteia, still feel grand, intense, and morally searching.

Euripides

d. -406

One of the great tragedians of classical Athens, his plays brought myth down to a human scale, with vivid emotions, sharp arguments, and unforgettable heroines. His work still feels daring because it questions power, piety, war, and the stories people tell to justify them.

Sophocles

-496–-406

One of the great tragedians of classical Athens, he helped shape the art of drama with plays that still feel tense, human, and surprisingly modern. His surviving works include Antigone, Oedipus Rex, and Philoctetes.
