Abstract
For a long time, Euripides’The Trojan Women was neglected by critics. Since the mid-twentieth century, however, it has enjoyed considerable success with many rewritings and dramatic adaptations. This is likely connected to the persistence of wars throughout the past century, but also, perhaps, to the emergence of an “age of victims” that lends a particular relevance to Euripide’s tragedy and its characters burdened with the atrocities of war.
