When Everything Burns: The Aftermath Nobody Talks About
What happens after the heroes go home? After the victory parades and the monuments are built, what becomes of those left behind in the rubble? In 415 BCE, as Athens prosecuted a brutal war against neighboring city-states, Euripides staged a play so unsettling that it still makes audiences uncomfortable today. "The Trojan Women" doesn't show us glorious battles or noble warriors. Instead, it forces us to sit with the women waiting to be enslaved, the children marked for death, and the smoldering ruins of a civilization erased from the earth. The year before the play premiered, Athenian forces had conquered the island of Melos, slaughtering every adult male and enslaving the women and children-standard practice in ancient warfare, yet rarely acknowledged in heroic narratives. Euripides made his audience watch what their own soldiers had done, only with Trojans standing in for their recent victims. The play remains one of the most frequently performed Greek tragedies worldwide precisely because its central questions refuse to age: Who pays the real price of war? What happens to moral principles when power faces no constraints? And can there be meaning in suffering that seems utterly senseless?
