Aspects of Love in John Gower's Confessio Amantis
Translation by George Theodoridis
"Those who are fortunate should not believe that fortune will stay with them forever."
"All men are slaves, Agamemnon! Slaves to money, to Fate, to the cries of the masses, to the written laws!"
This play is set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, and stars Hecuba, the former queen of Troy.
I read this right after reading Andromache, which is worth reading, but I think Hecuba is the better of the two; it's tighter and more dramatic. Like Medea, this play is about the revenge of oppressed women, but unlike Medea she doesn't quite get away with it, although she doesn't actually face any repercussions in the play itself; the consequences of her actions are only foretold.
