The Trojan Women

Enough of this history nonsense.  Professor Kozlowski returns to form with a deep-dive examination of Euripides' The Trojan Women, looking especially at the way Euripides uses (and abuses) Homeric form, theme, and content to make a compelling political argument preventing the greatest political and military catastrophe in the history of Athens.  Spoiler alert: it doesn't work. CW: Discussion of rape and trauma in the fallout of Troy's destruction, plus generally depressing material throughout If you have questions or topic suggestions for Professor Kozlowski, e-mail him at [email protected] To see what else Professor Kozlowski is up to, visit his webpage: https://professorkozlowski.wordpress.com/
