# Euripides

The first fact about Euripides is a printed child-killing play and a captive-women play, not a marble humanist. Perseus Medea at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0108 and Trojan Women at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0124 are public English. Bacchae at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0092 and Hippolytus at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0106 are further instruments. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Euripides marks a thin vita. Cambridge Companion at https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-companion-to-euripides/ treats politics of the plays. UNESCO Acropolis at https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/404/ is a later landscape. The offsets are also URLs. Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/35451 is cheap English. Vatican Museums at https://m.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en.html present a face-type. Stanford ancient tragedy at https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/tragedy-ancient/ is independent. What the score must not say: that he killed a child; that 415 is a unique casualty table; that 1912 is 431; that every play is a Fact. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on the printed plays, medium on unique festival coefficients, low on the Macedon anecdote. Related people are Aeschylus, Sophocles, Socrates as later pairing. 1912 is a Loeb. 1987 is Perseus and UNESCO. The useful question is which later public pages still move captive-theatre and school-gate under his name. Keep Medea Trojan Women Bacchae and Loeb on separate dates. Remaining dated instruments kept after dropping later editions, museums, and split rows: -0431-01-01 Medea is produced as a completed public play of a parent killing children; -0415-01-01 Trojan Women is produced as a completed public play of enslaved survivors after a sack; -0405-01-01 Bacchae is produced as a completed public play of a mother tearing a son; -0428-01-01 Hippolytus is produced as a completed public play of a false sexual charge and a father’s curse; -0431-03-01 The Dionysia is a male-citizen competition gate for the plays; -0431-06-01 The plays print enslaved persons as instruments of plots; -0408-01-01 A late stay at the Macedonian court is received in encyclopedia lives; -0412-01-01 Helen is produced as a completed public play of a phantom wife and war-error. Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. This catalog keeps only instruments dated to the lifetime (or received lifetime date) of Euripides. Posthumous museums, critical editions, UNESCO listings, and political reception by later states are evidence, not additional acts. The honest deficiency is that the current 30-Fact / 10-Article / 10-News Person gate cannot be met from securely dated instruments without attributing later editors and excavators to the ancient name. Related 2024–2025 news about COP, NATO, or a German chancellorship is not a relation. Hostile vita slander is not upgraded. Off-family indicator padding is refused. Confidence is high on named public pages, medium on unique coefficients, low on anecdote.

A Driver is attached only where a mechanism can be named. The public score, when later computed, is formula-derived only. Sources named on each Fact page are the causal evidence; Wikipedia is not. Allegations stay allegations. Contested ancient evidence stays contested.
