In the Greek camp outside the sacked city of Troy, the captured Trojan women and their queen, Hecuba, lament their travails while awaiting the results of a lottery that will determine their fate. All the surviving women of the royal family, victims of the conquerors’ cruelty, will become the property of the Greeks. As Troy burns to the ground, the desperate women are herded onto ships that will take them across the Aegean to become slaves in the homes of the Greek victors. The tragedy lies not only in their irreversible fortunes, but also in the resilience they display in the face of adversity. Although pain is inevitable, the search for meaning always persists.
