Euripides was the youngest of the three great Athenian tragedians of the 5th century B.C. and, as has been said, the most tragic. He reached manhood during the classical age of rhetoric, sophistic and philosophy, living at a time of rapid changes and major achievements in all spheres of culture. Influenced by the new currents, Euripides attempted a novel and bolder treatment of the myths on which the plot of Greek tragedies was almost always built, raising moral questions that are still difficult to answer today. A distinctive characteristic of his art was the realistic portrayal of his heroes and their passions. The fact that Euripides was awarded fewer victories at the dramatic festivals of Athens than his counterparts Sophocles and Aeschylus suggests that his radical approach caused unease among the Athenian public. Towards the end of his life, Euripides retired to the court of Archelaos, king of Macedon, where he wrote his last masterpiece, the tragedy Bacchae.

50 euro 2015 Proof Cultural Heritage of Delphi
Greek collectible gold proof coin with a face value of 50 euros, for the Cultural Heritage of Delphi, maximum number of 1,000 pieces, Bank of Greece mint, issued in 2015.
Delphi, a centre for the worship of Apollo in the foothills of Mount Parnassus, was one of the most venerable sanctuaries in ancient Greece. Thanks to its famed oracle and the ambiguous prophecies delivered by the Pythia, Delphi had great religious and political importance for both the ancient Greeks, who considered it the “navel of the earth”, and the ancient world at large. Delphi was the venue of the pan-Hellenic Pythian Games, second in prestige only to the Olympics. The spirituality of the site was amplified by exhortations coined by the ancient Greek sages (“Know thyself ”, “Nothing in excess”), inscribed on the Τemple of Apollo’s entrance. The splendour of Delphi was revived in modern times with the Delphic Festivals of 1927 and 1930 organised by poet Angelos Sikelianos and the current activities of the European Cultural Centre of Delphi.
