Trojan Women is very much a play for our times. Strongly against
war, it shows its aftermath through the eyes of a group of women,
members of the Trojan royal household. They have experienced
displacement, degradation and deprivation as their city has been
sacked by the Greeks. The play expresses their protest, their
articulation of grief, their reflection upon the world they now
find themselves in, one in which the more they suffer the more
their love for each other and for the family they have lost is
strengthened. Trojan Women is concentrated in its emotive power and
its uniquely lyric quality and it is not without the irony either
that the positions of victors and vanquished are not always as
fixed or as irreversible as they seem. Greek text with facing-page
English translation, introduction and commentary.
