What is Euripides : Hecubam Trojan women, Andromache about?

In The Three Great War Plays Contained In This Volume Euripides Subjects The Sufferings Of Troy's Survivors To A Harrowing Examination. The Horrific Brutality Which Both Women And Children Undergo Evokes A Response Of Unparalleled Intensity In The Playwright Whom Aristotle Called The Most Tragic Of Poets. Yet The New Battle-ground Of The Aftermath Of War Is One In Which The Women Of Troy Evince An Overwhelming Greatness Of Spirit. We Weep For The Aged Hecuba In Her Name Play And In The Trojan Women, Yet We Respond With An At Times Appalled Admiration To Her Resilience Amid Unrelieved Suffering. And In Her Name Play Andromache, The Slave-concubine Of Her Husband's Killer, Endures Her Existence In The Victor's Country With A Stoic Nobility. Of Their Time Yet Timeless, These Plays Insist On The Victory Of The Female Spirit Amid The Horrors Visited On Them By Gods And Men During War.--book Jacket.
