While Euripides became the whipping boy of Nietzsche in the “Birth of Tragedy,” he seems to always have suffered from scorn and resentment, as far back as his own time. Like Goethe, I am beginning to appreciate the iconoclastic nature of his plays.

What an insightful comment. I, too, am exploring the genius of Goethe and Euripides.

@@DurantandFriends Much obliged, my friend. It’s taken me about 7 years to finally acknowledge Euripides. After revering Sophocles and Aeschylus for so long, it’s time to pay my respects to the neglected playwright.
