Women of Troy is a play by Euripides that tells the story of the women of Troy after their city has been destroyed by the Greeks. The play focuses on the struggles and suffering of the women, particularly Hecuba, Andromache, and Cassandra, as they cope with the loss of their families and their city.
The women are taken as slaves by the Greeks and face a bleak future as they are forced to adapt to their new lives. Hecuba, the former queen of Troy, is devastated by the loss of her husband and children, while Andromache mourns the death of her husband Hector and fears for the safety of her young son Astyanax.
Cassandra, the prophetess cursed by Apollo, foresees the tragic fate that awaits her and her fellow women, but her warnings go unheeded. The play explores themes of war, loss, and the resilience of women in the face of adversity.
