  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Euripides   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It has been said that he travelled to Syracuse, Sicily, that he engaged in various public or political activities during his lifetime, and that he left Athens at the invitation of king Archelaus II and stayed with him in Macedonia after 408 BCE; there is, however, no historical evidence for any of these claims.
It was not until 441 BCE that he won first place, and over the course of his lifetime, Euripides claimed a mere four victories.
In June 2005, classicists at Oxford University employed infrared technology – previously used for satellite imaging – to detect previously unknown material by Euripides in fragments of the Oxyrhynchus papyri, [1] a collection of ancient manuscripts held by the university.

 Scythian Archers
During the period of the Pisistratid tyranny in Athens (561/560-510 BCE; see WA HI 9-10), Scythians served as mercenaries in the army, and used their renowned skill with the bow to provide cover for advancing hoplites.
For such is their manner of life that no one who invades their country can escape destruction, and if they wish to avoid engaging with an enemy, that enemy cannot by any possibility come to grips with them.
The Scythians also managed to defeat the army of Alexander the Great in 331 BCE, but were themselves defeated shortly afterwards by the Sauromatae, a people living to the north and east, about whose Amazon-type women Herodotus tells an extremely interesting story which forms part of your reading for this semeter (RG 6GH)
