Trojan WomenAmong surviving Greek tragedies only Euripides' Trojan Women shows us the extinction of a whole city, an entire people. Despite its grim theme, or more likely because of the centrality of that theme to the deepest fears of our own age, this is one of the relatively few Greek tragedies that regularly finds its way to the stage. Here the power of Euripides' theatrical and moral imagination speaks clearly across the twenty five centuries that separate

Among surviving Greek tragedies only Euripides' Trojan Women shows us the extinction of a whole city, an entire people. Despite its grim theme, or more likely because of the centrality of that theme to the deepest fears of our own age, this is one of the relatively few Greek tragedies that regularly finds its way to the stage. Here the power of Euripides' theatrical and moral imagination speaks clearly across the twenty-five centuries that separate our world from his. The theme is really a double one: the suffering of the victims of war, exemplified by the woman who survive the fall of Troy, and the degradation of the victors, shown by the Greeks' reckless and ultimately self-destructive behavior. It offers an enduring picture of human fortitude in the midst of despair. Trojan Women gains special relevance, of course, in times of war. It presents a particularly intense account of human suffering and uncertainty, but one that is also rooted in considerations of power and policy, morality and expedience. Furthermore, the seductions of power and the dangers both of its exercise and of resistance to it as portrayed in Trojan Women are not simply philosophical or rhetorical gambits but part of the lived experience of Euripides' day. And their analogues in our own day lie all too close at hand.
This new powerful translation of Trojan Women includes an illuminating introduction, explanatory notes, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading.

A great sport visor
Size: One Size, Color: (100) White / White / Reflective
My head is small so a lot of visors don’t fit because of the Velcro. This is perfect and the ability to wet it for coolness is great. Love it for tennis.

Cute and comfortable, though a little big without tightening a bit
Size: One Size, Color: (100) White / White / Reflective
Love the bright color and material. It fits a little big at first but has the ability to tighten quite a bit so it should be fine like it is for me. I just have a smaller head. It has great coverage. Feels comfortable as well.

Perfect fit
Size: One Size, Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective
I ordered this to wear during my upcoming vacation. It will shade my face from direct sunlight. I initially wished the brim was just a tad bit shorter but then I realize the current brim size will serve the purpose; that being the reason why it was purchased.
