The attention for lights and color in one of the peculiarities in the Euripidean drama, especially in the last production, where they are matched with particular attention. However, only few details are used as decorative ones, but they create a passage with a particular dramatic function; as it is confirmed by the later dramas, such as "Ion" and "Bacchant". A new combination of traditional hues and images, which create polychromy, seems to appear more often and in similar contexts. For this reason, the decorative aspect of the lyrics is not denied, but the general impression is that Euripides creates, thanks to color, a strong visual impact, giving a specific meaning to a particular scene and a particular drama
