Question
A woman in this play first enters madly singing to Hymenaeus and Hecate while waving a torch lit for her own wedding, which she proclaims will take place in Hades. An antagonist of this play is warned that “no lover…can forget his passion” after sarcastically asking if his wife has put on weight. Jean-Paul Sartre’s final work for the stage was a politically-charged adaptation of this play. This play begins as (*) Poseidon and Athena discuss an appropriate punishment for a rape committed by Ajax the Lesser. Near the end of this play, the herald Talthybius enters with the dead body of the infant Astyanax, who has been thrown from the city walls. For 10 points, name this Euripides play about the desolate lives of Hecuba, Andromache, and Cassandra after their city’s defeat. ■END■
