«Las troyanas» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, in a version by José Luis Navarro, published by Clásicas Ediciones in paperback (91 pages, in Spanish).
After the fall of Troy, the conquered women await their allocation among the Greek leaders. Hecuba, queen of the city, sees her daughter Cassandra leave as Agamemnon's concubine; the chorus of captives gathers the lament of all the Trojan women. Euripides turns that pain into a reflection on war and its victims.
Originally published in 1996, the edition is by José Luis Navarro; the original Greek title is Τρωάδες.
For fans of classical theatre and Greek mythology, with an interest in drama denouncing war.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
