| Summary | "Ανδρομάχη" by Euripides is a classical Greek tragedy likely written in the 4th century BC. The play centers around Andromache, the widow of Hector, who faces dire circumstances following the fall of Troy and the subsequent betrayal by her new captor, Neoptolemus. The themes of loss, jealousy, and the struggle for survival in a male-dominated society become apparent as Andromache seeks to protect herself and her son from threats that could lead to their destruction. The opening of the play introduces us to Andromache, who is in despair as she recalls her former life as a free woman, before being reduced to slavery after the fall of Troy. She laments the loss of her husband Hector and the impending danger that threatens her child, whom she has hidden to protect him from the machinations of Menelaus and Hermione, Neoptolemus’s new wife. As the dialogue progresses, we see Andromache's determination to confront her adversaries and her anguish at the predicament she faces, with powerful interactions between her and her servant, illustrating her vulnerabilities and fortitude.
