The three great Athenian tragedians are Aeschylus Sophocles and?
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.
