Euripides was often seen as a critic of the gods and an enlightener, since in his plays, more often than among the other tragic playwrights, criticism of the action or non-action of the gods is expressed, resembling the criticism of the gods by philosophers and contemporary sophists. It is not uncommon for statements about the gods to be made in one and the same piece in harmony with the traditional myth and criticism of these gods, often also by one and the same figure. The project understands the staging of these contradictory images of gods as a dramaturgical problematization of contemporary concepts of gods. It focuses in particular on the experiences of contingency and providence staged in the late tragedies, analyzes these with the methods of Classical Philology and Literary Criticism and with a view to contemporary philosophical discourses, and asks whether Euripides' dramatization of the interplay of contingency and providence can be understood as an artistic reflection on the political crisis in Athens, which manifested itself around 415, the beginning of the Sicilian expedition. Through this novel methodological approach, the investigation leads to a reformulation of the question of the function and meaning of the gods in Euripides, which is much discussed in Euripides research, and at the same time contributes to ancient historical research on the relationship between religion and politics and the religious history of mentality at the end of the 5th century.

欧里庇得斯经常被视为诸神的批评者和启蒙者，因为在他的戏剧中，比其他悲剧剧作家更频繁地表达对诸神的作为或不作为的批评，类似于哲学家对诸神的批评。和当代诡辩家。关于神的陈述在同一个作品中与传统神话和对这些神的批评相协调，而且通常是由同一个人物做出的，这种情况并不少见。该项目将这些相互矛盾的神的形象的呈现理解为对当代神的概念的戏剧性问题化。它特别关注晚期悲剧中上演的偶然性和天意的经历，用古典语言学和文学批评的方法并着眼于当代哲学话语对其进行分析，并询问欧里庇得斯对偶然性和天意相互作用的戏剧化是否正确。可以理解为对雅典政治危机的艺术反思，这场危机在 415 年左右，即西西里远征开始时显现出来。通过这种新颖的方法论途径，研究重新阐述了欧里庇得斯研究中经常讨论的诸神的功能和意义问题，同时也有助于古代宗教与宗教之间关系的历史研究。 5世纪末的政治和宗教心态史。
