Trojan women

Drama

Seneca the Younger

Authors: Seneca the Younger
Print type: BOOK

Description:

The play explores the folly of war, focussing on the trials of the royal family of the fallen city of Troy (Hecuba, Andromache and their children) as they mourn their past and current sufferings, and the continued assault of the Greeks on the survivors as they look to sacrifice two of the royal progeny, Polyxena and Astyanax.
