The Trojan War Will Not Take Place is a play by Jean Giraudoux that presents a poem of despair about war through Greek and Trojan heroes. The play, divided into two acts, explores themes such as the futility of the efforts of men of good will, the fatality of war, the vanity of wisdom and loyalty, and the omnipresence of violent instincts. Through a mixture of irony, ingenious thoughts, and complex psychology, Giraudoux examines human nature and the tragedy of war with a serious and broad humor.

Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux was a French novelist, essayist, diplomat and playwright. He is considered among the most important French dramatists of the period between World War I and World War II.
