QR code
"The Trojan women of Euripides" by Euripides is a tragedy produced in 415 BCE. After Troy falls and its men are slaughtered, the surviving women face their fates as slaves to Greek victors. Queen Hecuba and her daughters confront devastating news: forced concubinage, human sacrifice, and the murder of a child to prevent future revenge. Through their grief and loss, the play presents a powerful anti-war commentary, exploring the brutal costs of
conflict through those left behind. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
