{"product_id":"9780199538812","title":"The Trojan Women and Other Plays","description":"This volume of Euripides' plays offers new translations of the three great war plays \u003cem\u003eTrojan Women, Hecuba\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAndromache\u003c\/em\u003e, in which the sufferings of Troy's 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 war's aftermath, this brutality is challenged and a new battleground is revealed where the women of Troy evince an overwhelming greatness of spirit.\u003cbr\u003eWe weep for the aged Hecuba in her name play and in \u003cem\u003eTrojan Women\u003c\/em\u003e, while at the same time we admire her resilience amid unrelieved suffering. Andromache, the slave-concubine of her husband's killer, endures her existence in the victor's 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
