Summary "The Trojan Women" by Euripides is a classic Greek tragedy, written in the 5th century BC. The play centers on the fate of the women of Troy after the city is sacked by the Greeks, delivering a poignant exploration of suffering, loss, and the consequences of war. The key characters include Hecuba, the tragic queen of Troy; Cassandra, her prophetic daughter; Andromache, the widow of Hector; and Helen, whose abduction initiated the conflict. At the start of the play, the grand aftermath of the Trojan War is revealed, with Hecuba awakening to a landscape of destruction. Poseidon, the sea god, reflects on the devastation brought upon Troy, while Athena seeks vengeance against the Greek leaders for their past wrongs. Hecuba calls out to the other Trojan women, mourning their fates as they face slavery and separation from their loved ones. As the Greek herald Talthybius arrives with news of their lots in slavery, despair and fear abound among the captive women, setting a tone of tragic inevitability and highlighting their emotional anguish in the aftermath of their city's fall.
