Andromache (Paperback, New edition)

In Andromache, Euripides depicts the aftermath of the Trojan war, when Andromache, the widow of Hector, has become the concubine to Achilles' son Neoptolemus and has borne a child, Molossus, to him, As the play opens, Andromache and Molossus are threatened with death by Neoptolemus' young wife, Hermione, who has been unable to conceive a child. The struggle between the two women is mirrored in the conflict between Peleus, who defends Andromache, and Menelaus, who arrives to help Hermione complete her bid for power. Susan Stewart, a poet, and Wesley Smith, a classicist, have combined their talents to create this latest addition to our Greek Tragedy in New Translations series. Each play in the series is preceded by a critical introduction and is accompanied by notes designed to clarify obscure references and explain the conventions on the Athenian stage.
