This video was an absolute masterpiece. The combination of the eccentric narrative style of this video, it's great insights for the viewer who pays close attention to detail, as well as its top-notch humour, make this a truly remarkable video. As a person not too acquainted with the greatest playwrights, let alone the greatest Greek tragedians of classical Greece, this really made me feek a combination of hopeless ignorance and unquenchable curiosity that I cannot properly describe. Kudos.

It definitely requires some background to understand what's going on, but come on, guys, this is great! Really, you have done amazing work. It's very entertaining and helps to renew the knowledge you had of ancient greek theatre. Even if you don't know a thing about it, the video is a super fun point to start introducing with it. Thank you so much!

Whats really tragic is not only did Oedipus Rex come in second at the contest but we also dont even have copies of Philocles tragedies to compare it to in order to determine if it was a fair loss. In fact we dont even know the name of the play Oedipus lost too, the passage of the sands of time has robbed us of even that.

A nice fellow who kills his father and marries his mother.
And thus lay the seeds for an entire profession. Sometimes charging 200 dollars an hour. and a fifty minute hour at that.
(1000 points to anyone who gets this reference)

What about Euripides? It seems wrong to leave out one tragic ancient Greek playwright when there were only 3 with plays that still exist today.
