Attain Women Of Troy/Hecuba/Helen: Three Plays Chronicled By Euripides Delivered In Leaflet
only read 'women of Troy' in this book but it was very well written and I enjoyed reading those women's stories and their worries and fears and grief.
I could really identify with those human emotions the women were displaying and
it made me feel connected to the story and the era as a whole.
Euripides's plays are not as difficult to understand as I have expected, Rather, they are well plotted with clear and simple plots, Kenneth McLeish's excellent translation is a pluspoint for this wonderful book of plays Kenneth McLeish's stunning translations of three plays exploring the Trojan War, by one of the great Athenian dramatists.
Each play shows the aftermath of war from a different standpoint, Women of Troy is set amongst a group of captives waiting to be shipped from Troy as slaves Queen Hecuba is their comforter but in Hecuba she is driven to the edge of insanity by her own great personal loss.
Helen takes place seven years after the end of the War, In Egypt treated as a backwater, far from 'real' events Helen waits anxiously for her husband Menelaus to rescue her.
