Episode 8: Trojan Women

Long considered the oldest anti-war play, Euripides’ Trojan Women is a devastating portrayal of the suffering of war’s female victims. It is also about female relationships and forms of agency, as well as the power of artistic innovation in the face of brutality and loss. Naomi discusses this strange and beautiful play with Professor Ella Haselswerdt (University of California, Los Angeles) and Rosanna Bruno (artist and illustrator of Euripides’ Trojan Women: A Comic).
