Trojan Women by Seneca
Set amid the smoldering ruins of Troy, this tragedy follows Hecuba and the captive women as they mourn their city and endure the harsh decrees of the Greek victors: Cassandra's prophecies go unheeded, Andromache must surrender her son Astyanax to death, and Polyxena is led to sacrifice; through searing rhetoric and choral lament, it examines the savagery of conquest, the fragility of fortune, and the endurance of grief.
