Played out against the ruined walls of Troy, The Trojan Women serves as one of the most powerful indictments of war ever written, recounting the murder of the innocent, the desecration of shrines, and the enslavement of Trojan women. Hippolytus depicts the struggles to master human passion, struggles symbolized by gods who behave like irresponsible humans.

Trojan Women and Hippolytus
In The Trojan Women the agony of the surviving women of Troy at the hands of their Greek conquerors is used by the Athenian playwright to comment on the recent atrocities committed by Athenian forces during the Peloponnesian War. Noble women loudly complain of their new reduced status as slaves bound to their husband's killers. One plots revenge, and another woman's baby is torn from her arms to be slaughtered.
In Hippolytus humans pay with their lives as goddesses settle scores for slights by inciting men and women to suicide and murder while the goddesses maintain a superficial peace among themselves on Olympus by killing off her rival's devotee.
Both plays use extended monologues in these stiffly worded 1891 translations. The plays are brutally powerful, but the translations are not up to the quality of the drama.
