Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The center of the play is Hecuba, the exiled queen of Troy, and her sorrow at the death of her family and her city at the end of the Trojan War. In Euripides' play, the ladies of Troy are depicted after their city has been taken over, their husbands have been killed, and their remaining families have been sold into slavery. Athena and Poseidon, two Greek gods, are talking about how to punish the Greek soldiers for tolerating Ajax the Lesser's rape of Cassandra as the story opens.Upon her arrival, the widowed princess Andromache finds that her youngest daughter, Polyxena, had been killed by her mother's enemies.The Greek authorities are worried that the little kid would one-day exact revenge on his father Hector. She is still alive, as is made clear in the book's conclusion.Many of the Trojan ladies mourn the loss of the land that gave them a good upbringing throughout the book. Hecuba in particular makes it clear that Troy had been her home her entire life, only for her to see herself as an elderly grandmother witnessing the destruction of Troy, the deaths of her husband, her children, and her grandchildren before being sold into slavery by Odysseus.

Book excerpt: 76 Pages Integral Tragedy Play Medea Tragedy by Seneca With following advantages easy, enjoyable and fast read narrative in prose version of the Iliad (no verses) satisfactory both to children and adult readers attentive editing thematic illustrations (enhanced and fluid reading experience) The Story in Brief Medea falls in love with Jason while he is on his quest for the Golden Fleece and uses her supernatural powers to aid him in completing the tasks that King Aeëtes, her father, had set. The three tasks were: yoke the fiery bulls, compete with the giants, and slay the dragon that was guarding the fleece. After Jason is successful, Medea kills her own brother to distract her father and enable their escape. After their return to Iolcus, they were again forced to flee when Medea uses her powers to have Jason''s uncle Pelias killed by his own daughters. Jason and Medea next settle in Corinth where they had two sons. In order to climb the political ladder, Jason leaves Medea for Creusa who is the daughter of King Creon. Medea opens up the play by cursing Creusa and King Creon (1-44). King Creon gives Medea one day before she is exiled and she does not take Jason''s advice on going peacefully(192-557). She uses a regal robe to poison and sends it as a gift for Creusa on her wedding day with Jason. The chorus describe in great detail the rage, scorn, and anger that Medea felt as she plotted her revenge. The chorus prays to the gods that Jason (the leader of the Argonauts) is spared from Medea''s vengeance (579-652). Medea''s curse contains poisons, snake blood, herbs, and the invocations to all the underworld gods. The cursed robe kills Creusa and Creon by catching on fire when Creusa puts it on. Creon tries to put out his daughter but is unsuccessful and he catches on fire too (817-843). Their death does not satisfy Medea but only awakens her vengeful spirt more. Jason''s betrayal blinds Medea so much that her number one priority is hurting Jason. Even if hurting Jason means hurting her children. Medea sacrifices her children from the roof of her house in order to hurt Jason (982-1025). Medea escapes in a dragon chariot while she throws the bodies of the boys down to Jason. Jason closes the play by stating that there are no gods because otherwise such acts would have not been committed (1026-1027). Euripides'' Medea was written before Seneca''s Medea and even though they are similar there are differences. Seneca starts off his play with Medea herself expressing her hatred of Jason and Creon. Her first line is "O gods! Vengeance! Come to me now, I beg, and help me..." While Euripides introduces Medea later on in scene one and she complains to her nurse of the injustices she has faced. The chorus in Euripides'' Medea is not objective towards her. The chorus in Seneca''s Medea does not ridicule her and has an objective position through out the play. Seneca''s chorus does not show sympathy towards Medea. The final scenes are particularly different because Medea does not blame Jason for the death of her children in Seneca''s version. She even kills one of her sons in front of Jason and blames herself for their death. In Euripides'' version Medea does the opposite, because she blames Jason and does not carry any guilt or blame with her.

Download or read book The Trojan Women written by Euripides and published by Broadview Press Incorporated. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trojan Women tells the story of the survivors of the Trojan War, the women and children taken into slavery by the victorious Greek army. Through the tragedy's central character, the matriarch Hecuba, this late play (415 BCE) demonstrates Euripides' commitment to speaking on behalf of the less powerful and offers a scathing critique of Athenian behavior as the city fought its own disastrous war with its southern neighbor, Sparta. Trojan Women features well-known characters from Greek mythology, including the prophetess Cassandra, the gods Athena and Poseidon, and, most notably, the infamous Helen, the cause of the war, who must defend herself to the husband she abandoned. This new translation features a text committed to accuracy and clarity, one developed in collaboration with actors for clear reading and performance. Appendices provide other important literary treatments of the central women in the play, with selections ranging from Homer to Shakespeare.

Book excerpt: The Trojan Women, also known as Troades, is a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides. Produced in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War, it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year (see History of Milos). 415 BC was also the year of the scandalous desecration of the hermai and the Athenians' second expedition to Sicily, events which may also have influenced the author.The Trojan Women was the third tragedy of a trilogy dealing with the Trojan War. The first tragedy, Alexandros, was about the recognition of the Trojan prince Paris who had been abandoned in infancy by his parents and rediscovered in adulthood. The second tragedy, Palamedes, dealt with Greek mistreatment of their fellow Greek Palamedes. This trilogy was presented at the Dionysia along with the comedic satyr play Sisyphos. The plots of this trilogy were not connected in the way that Aeschylus' Oresteia was connected. Euripides did not favor such connected trilogies.Euripides won second prize at the City Dionysia for his effort, losing to the obscure tragedian Xenocles.The four Trojan women of the play are the same that appear in the final book of the Iliad lamenting over the corpse of Hector. Taking place near the same time is Hecuba, another play by Euripides.
