Drama Classics: The World’s Great Plays at a Great Little Price
The story of Andromache, widow of the Trojan hero Hector.
Some years after the fall of Troy, Andromache is living as a slave to Neoptolemus, by whom she has a child. When Neoptolemus’ fiercely jealous young wife, Hermione, finds she is unable to conceive, she threatens to murder Andromache, and the struggle between the two women turns quickly into a bitter feud.
This edition of Euripides’ Andromache, in the Drama Classics series, is translated and introduced by Marianne McDonald and J. Michael Walton.
