N1  - Includes bibliographical references and indexes; Euripides, Socrates, and other Sophists -- Piety and impiety in Euripides' Heracles -- Athena -- Apollo -- Other gods -- Gods behind the scenes
N2  - Although readers continue to believe that in his dramas Euripides was questioning the nature and sometimes even the existence of the gods, and that through his dramas he sought to reveal the flaws in the traditional religious beliefs of his own time, this book argues that instead of seeking to undermine ancient religion, Euripides is describing with a brutal realism what the gods are like, and reminding his mortal audience of the limitations of human understanding
