The women of Troy face enslavement after the fall of their city.

Hecuba and the other women of Troy rise to find their city in ruins and their cause lost. The city has fallen into Greek hands and it is likely their lot to become slaves of Greek soldiers. A messenger approaches to inform them that the lots have been drawn and each woman will be taken to the man who drew for her. Of particular interest is Hecuba's daughter, Cassandra, who is chosen for the Greek kings bedchamber. She has received word of this news already and is in hiding because she has sworn an oath to the gods that she will live as a virgin. When she is found she has some particularly nasty things to say about treatment at Greek hands.—Lordship <[email protected]>

In the aftermath of the Trojan War, Queen Hecuba, the mother of slain Prince Hector, and the surviving women of Troy face a fate worse than death: they are to be taken back to Greece as slaves. With their men slaughtered and the city in ruins, the Trojan women refuse to surrender, knowing that the fall of their beloved city marks the beginning of a disgraced life of slavery. And, against the backdrop of the ravaged city of Troy, a few women try to avert the inevitable: Cassandra, priestess of Apollo and Hecuba's insane daughter; beautiful Helen of Argos, King Menelaus' adulterous wife and the woman responsible for all the suffering, and Andromache, Hector's widow and desperate mother of his only son Astyanax--the boy who must die.—Nick Riganas
