[[Euripides]] was a playwright of [[Ancient Greece]] (5th century BC), one of three great tragedians whose works have survived to the present day (the earlier two are [[Aeschylus]] and [[Sophocles]]). A whopping eighteen of his plays have survived complete (many via a remarkably-preserved 800-year-old copy of The Complete Works of Euripides -- Volume 2: E-K), along with fragments of many others. One of these, ''The Cyclops'', is a [[Satyr Play]] about Polyphemus.
