Trojan Women (Murray Translation)

by Euripides

Euripides' *Trojan Women* is a poignant and powerful Greek tragedy that explores the aftermath of the Trojan War. It focuses on the suffering of the Trojan women, including Hecuba, Andromache, and Cassandra, as they are forced into slavery and endure the loss of their families and homeland. The play delves into themes of war's destructive power, the plight of women in a patriarchal society, and the consequences of divine intervention in human affairs. Through its vivid portrayal of grief, despair, and the resilience of the human spirit, *Trojan Women* remains a timeless and moving testament to the enduring impact of conflict.
