Euripides and his tragedy "The Trojan Women"

Euripides was an ancient Greek writer of tragedies the thrid of the famous trio. He wrote about the women and mythological themes like Medea and Helen of Troy. The purpose for "The Trojan Women" was to be a prophecy of tragedy to shock the Athens to ther senses. The slave women posses a nobility of mind that stands in striking to the inhumanity of the victorious Greek warriors. The drama, ruthless in its depictions, put the idea of hope as a virtue. And self delusion and folly.

In the introduction of the story Poseidon expresses remorse/nostalgia for Troy. Then next Athena and Poseidon decide why Athena is angry with the Greek army, her intentions, and what Poseidon agrees to do. Then the second act Hecuba is trying to figure out her own daughter, and what suspects about her own fate. Later on Cassandra makes a prediction about Odysseus; later Andromache calls for help, Andromache tells about her death. And then Menelaus strides into the story into Hecuba's response. In addition to having Talthybius enter into the story with the broken corpse of Astyanax.
