Title: Warriors' Wives Author: Emma Bridges Narrator: Lucy Rayner Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 18 mins Release date: 04-09-24 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Greece Publisher's Summary: Epic poetry and tragic drama provide us with some of the richest ancient Greek depictions of women who are married to soldiers. In tales of the Trojan War, as told by Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, we encounter these mythical warriors' wives: Penelope, isolated but resourceful as she awaits the return of Odysseus after his lengthy absence; the war widow Andromache, enslaved and displaced from her homeland after the fall of Troy; the unfaithful and murderous Clytemnestra; and Tecmessa, a war captive who witnesses her partner's breakdown and suicide in the aftermath of battle.
