deardostoevsky's review against another edition
5.0
Andromache's story is tragic. But her high-spirited character makes it a tale of valiance quite unknown to the patriarchal rules of a sad world where women are prized away as spoils of war as per men's desire.
But even amidst a fate so awful, worse than the worst, comes Andromache, who does not falter or bow down before the atrocities so brought upon.
Euripides magically weaves this tale of jealousy and treachery, highlighting the terrible plight of women, and the tragic side of wars.

Nothing against Euripides, but this audio production was a bit awkward.
