The tragedy of Euripides

We are transported far from the big centers, to the Greek countryside. Thessaly, Phthiotis, Thetideion. To the house of Achilles’ son, Neoptolemus. There we witness the dramatic conflict between two women: Andromache, widow of Hector and slave of Neoptolemus, and Hermione, wife of Neoptolemus. Hermione, full of jealousy and envy, accuses Andromache that because of her, Neoptolemus no longer loves her and does not wish to have a child with her, while he already has a child with Andromache. The conflict reaches its extremes when Menelaus, the king of Sparta and father of Hermione, decides to kill Andromache’s child, thus carrying out one of the most extreme acts of revenge and arrogance.
