No, Euripides (c. 480 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.) wrote the tragedy "Alcestis."
Specifically, Sophocles (c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.) was Euripides' contemporary. At the time, Thebes and Troy were popular topics for plays. So Sophocles is known for authorship of three plays about Theban King Oedipus: "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone." In contrast, Euripides is known for writing plays about women whose lives are affected by the coming, carrying out and losing of the Trojan War.
