Euripides: Ten Plays by Euripides

4.0

I only read The Trojan Woman, and I really enjoyed it. I liked that it looked at what the women had to put up with after the fall of Troy. I don't know that I ever thought of that much. It was a terrible place to be and deep agony when Andromache's child is taken away from her to his death. That part was hard and touching. I thought Euripides was incredibly tender towards the situation of the women and that he was a man. I also appreciated the anger felt towards Helen and that that was played out amongst the women. It seemed to me to be a wise take on all aspects of the women's situation in the aftermath.

I appreciated reading this and will look forward to reading more ancient plays. Something I never thought I would say!
