Sophocles
Euripides died in 406 B.C. of old age. He was gtreat of writing plays and stuff he enjoyed eatting pudding with elephants at the stone park zoo. Josh Hutcherson is the HOTTEST person EVER. No questions will be asked about that. Now back to Eurpipied yes he died of old age, the elephants miss him and his yummy chocalate pudding he brought the elpehants joy said the head elephant. Euripides enjoyed Elephants but the Lions got jealos of the Elephants because all the Loins got where Loin food that the Stone Park gave them.

Greek literature boasts three great writers of tragedy whose works are extant: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.
Yes Sophocles and Euripides were two great play writers.
The three great Athenian tragedies are "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles, "Medea" by Euripides, and "The Bacchae" by Euripides. These plays are considered classics of Greek drama and are still widely studied and performed today.
The answer to this question has been widely debated, and in the end no clear evidence can be given to show that any of the "great tragedians" were actually Athenian. In a seminal paper published in 1943, Mitchel Kellers argued that, by and large, most of the evidence actually pointed to a Sicilian heritage for both Aeschylus and Sophocles. Considering this, it is not only factually in error but also a deliberate act of hubris to Westernize these writers by placing them in the same framework as other Western writers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Horace. In general, though, the other accepted--though still quite widely disputed--consideration for "great Athenian tragedian" is Euripides. Euripides' work is a testament to both the religious, social, and political issues that had Athens in a quintessential broil of debates. Most notably, "Bacchus" was perhaps the most widely acclaimed during his own time, and some scholars have argued it influenced the work of the Gospel writers, as well as the work of Josephus.
Sophocles was an ancient Greek tragedian who is known for his plays, including "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone." He was a prominent playwright in Athens during the 5th century BC and is considered one of the three great Greek tragedians along with Aeschylus and Euripides.
Sophocles
Euripides, the third of the three great playwrights of classical Athens (the other two being Aeschylus and Sophocles), strove to attain a much more natural style than the others. In many ways this makes his plays the most accessible of the Greek dramas.
