"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 enslavement and further horrors at the hands of their Greek conquerors. Queen Hecuba and the royal women—including the prophetic Cassandra and widowed Andromache—confront devastating fates as their children are torn away and their homeland burns. Through their suffering, the play presents a powerful commentary on the brutal costs of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
