Andromache by Jean Racine (1639 - 1699)
LibriVox
In this tragedy [about part of the aftermath of the Trojan War], which made its appearance in 1667, there is a more intricate plot than is usual in Racine's plays, and it offers a greater variety of character and motive. Love, jealousy, friendship, conjugal fidelity, maternal tenderness, anger, and despair are all portrayed with skillful touches; and if the language is that of the French Court of the seventeenth century, the natural emotions of the human heart, the same in all ages, show themselves plainly under the mask of conventional mannerism - Summary by The TranslatorCast list:Andromache, widow of Hector, Captive of Pyrrhus: SoniaPyrrhus, Son of Achilles, King of Epirus: Matthew ReeceOrestes, Son of Agamemnon: Richard JasperingHermione, Daughter of Helen, betrothed to Pyrrhus: <a href="https://librivox.
Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
LibriVox
Troilus and Cressida is Shakespeare's "problem" play about the Trojan War. As the opening Chorus tells us, the play "begins in the middle" of the epic conflict, and counterpoints the drama of battle with the romance of the title characters. Just as Agamemnon and his Greek forces (particularly the smooth-tongued Ulysses) attempt to woo the invincible Achilles to resume fighting on their side, the Trojan go-between Pandarus tries to bring together Troilus, a son of King Priam, with his niece, the lovely Cressida.

Orestes
Euripides
In a gripping tale of revenge and moral conflict, Orestes finds himself haunted by the Furies after fulfilling Apollos command to avenge his fathers murder by killing his mother, Clytemnestra. As he grapples with the torment of his actions, only his sister Electra can bring him solace amidst the chaos. However, a powerful faction in Argos seeks his death for the crime he committed, and Orestes salvation hinges on the return of his uncle Menelaus, fresh from the Trojan War and laden with wealth. Set against the backdrop of a complex web of familial ties and moral dilemmas, this play unfolds after Euripides’ Electra and Aeschylus’ The Libation Bearers, yet precedes The Eumenides and Andromache. As Buckley aptly notes, The play is among the most celebrated on the stage, but infamous in its morals; for, with the exception of Pylades, all the characters are bad persons. - Summary by Wikipedia and Theodore Buckley
