Life Without a Stomach. Itâs a daily reminder - that food is an important part of life, that we donât appreciate our stomachs enough, that weâre willing to give up a lot to save our lives, that itâs an option some hope to have - and that you can, yes you can, live without your stomach. No stomach.
ANCIENT GREECE-EURIPIDES (Tragic Playwright, Greek, c. 480 - c. 406 BCE) Introduction | Biography | Writings | Major Works Introduction Back to Top of Page Euripides was the last of the three great tragedians of classical Greece (the other two being Aeschylus and Sophocles). Largely due to an accident of history, eighteen of Euripides' ninety-five plays have survived in a complete form, along with fragments (some substantial) of many of his other plays.
All seven of the complete plays are works of Sophoclesâ maturity, but only two of them, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus, have fairly certain dates. Ajax is generally regarded as the earliest of the extant plays. Some evidence suggests that Antigone was first performed in 442 or 441 bc. Philoctetes was first performed in 409, when Sophocles was 90 years old, and Oedipus at Colonus was said to have been produced after Sophoclesâ death by his grandson. Ajax The entire plot of Ajax (Greek Aias mastigophoros) is constructed around Ajax, the mighty hero of the Trojan War whose pride drives him to treachery and finally to his own ruin and suicide some two-thirds of the way through the play.
