The Trojan Women

Written by Euripides, 415 BCE

An interpretation of Euripides’ devastating tragedy, The Trojan Women.
This scene captures the moment when soldiers arrive to tear Astyanax, Hector’s young son, from his mother, Andromache. The women of Troy, already mourning their fallen city, are now forced to witness another unbearable loss — the destruction of their future. A study in grief, survival, and the haunting silence that follows catastrophe.
