Trojan Women and Other Plays

Detalii:

nThis volume of Euripides plays offers new translations of the three great war plays Trojan Women, Hecuba, and Andromache, in which the sufferings of Troys survivors are harrowingly depicted. With unparalleled intensity, Euripides--whom Aristotle called the most tragic of poets--describes the horrific brutality that both women and children undergo during war. Yet, in the wars aftermath, this brutality is challenged and a new battleground is revealed where the women of Troy evince an overwhelming greatness of spirit. nWe weep for the aged Hecuba in her name play and in Trojan Women, while at the same time we admire her resilience amid unrelieved suffering. Andromache, the slave-concubine of her husbands killer, endures her existence in the victors country with a stoic nobility. Of their time yet timeless, these plays insist on the victory of the female spirit amid the horrors visited on them by the gods and men during war. n nAbout the Series: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
