歐里庇得斯頭像 Portrait-head of Euripides
1世紀 羅馬帝國時期 意大利 1st century, Roman, Italy
歐里庇得斯(約公元前485/480-前407/406)是古代雅典三大劇作家之一。他的悲劇作品結合神話與人性，並反映當時社會的境況。歐里庇得斯共寫了92部劇本，可惜只有18部完整地流傳下來。他的劇作僅在他生前演出過一次。在此雕像中，他被塑造成一位受人尊敬的長者，有著濃密的鬍鬚，稀疏的頭髮，按照當時的習俗，雕像並沒有刻意突出他劇作家的身份。
Euripides was one of the three leading playwrights of Classical Athens. His tragic plays often reflected current events, filtered through the medium of classical myths, as well as key aspects of the human condition. Euripides wrote 92 plays, of which 18 survive entire and others in fragments. During his lifetime, plays were performed only one time.
Euripides is depicted as a respected older citizen, with a full beard and thinning hair. In accordance with conventions of the time, no reference is made to his profession. ■資料：香港藝術館
