  In these three ancient tragedies, Euripides dramatizes the fate of women in the wake of the Trojan War. The women are spoils of war, instigators of revenge, and pawns used by the gods, and Euripides delivers powerful portrayals of their suffering. The publication of Trojan Women, Helen, and Hecuba in one volume invites provocative engagement with issues of gender, history, warfare, and politics.
