Eurípides es el más inquieto y apasionado de los tres grandes autores trágicos griegos. Seguramente también es el más influyente, gracias a su sensibilidad poética, más cercana a la actual. A diferencia de Esquilo y Sofocles, que le precedieron, Euripides humaniza y dota de caracter realista al mito, da rienda suelta a los arrebatos poeticos, a la vez que tambien se muestra muy racionalista. En este contraste contradictorio radica parte de su encanto y de su modernidad. El tercer y ultimo volumen que recoge las tragedias completas de Euripides en la Biblioteca Clasica incluye: Helena, Las fenicias, Orestes, Ifigenia en Aulide, Las bacantes y la debatida Reso.
