The Trojan Women Monologue

From The Trojan Women by Euripides

female · dark · 49 sec

The scene represents a battlefield, a few days after the battle. At the back are the walls of Troy, partially ruined. In front of them, to right and left, are some huts, containing those of the Captive Women who have been specially set apart for the chief Greek leaders. At one side some dead bodies of armed men are visible. In front a tall woman with white hair is lying on the ground asleep. It is the dusk of early dawn, before sunrise. The figure of the god POSEIDON is dimly seen before the walls.
