'though Sophocles saw Fates in everything
Euripides lays all of it on Man
the meanest servant and the proudest king
must lay and execute his own life-plan
a subtle midrash on Homeric texts
Euripides lays all of it on Man
the meanest servant and the proudest king
must lay and execute his own life-plan
a subtle midrash on Homeric texts
dismissive of the creeds of ages past
inevitable as cause and effects
the tragedy's implicit in the cast
a humanist before we had the word
for whom the action all comes from within
unint'rested in what he deems absurd
to blame a deity for mortal's sin
a treasure from the Periclean age
laid bare the human psyche on the stage
