📖 Trojan Women and Hippolytus

Played out against the ruined walls of Troy, The Trojan Women serves as one of the most powerful indictments of war ever written, recounting the murder of the innocent, the desecration of shrines, and the enslavement of Trojan women. Hippolytus depicts the struggles to master human passion, struggles symbolized by gods who behave like irresponsible humans.
