| Description |
'The Women of Troy' is as stinging an indictment of the inhumanity and futility of war as your likely to encounter. Euripides's play takes place on the morning after the Greeks have conquered Troy, the climax of a 10-year war sparked by the abduction of Helen, the beautiful wife of a
Spartan king. |
