About this ebook

Tragédie inspirée de l'Énéide, de l'Andromaque d'Euripide, de la Troade de Séneque. Oreste, le fils d'Agamemnon, est envoyé par les Grecs a Buthrote pour demander a Pyrrhus, roi d'Épire, qu'il lui livre Astyanax, le fils de sa captive troyenne Andromaque. Or Pyrrhus aime Andromaque et délaisse sa fiancée Hermione, fille d'Hélene. Pour Oreste, qui n'a cessé d'aimer en vain Hermione, l'espoir renaît. Pyrrhus s'est opposé a la demande d'Oreste, mais exige d'Andromaque, pour prix de la sécurité de son fils, qu'elle l'épouse...

    One of the best classical French dramas, I shudder to say it but Racine almost makes Moliere seems like a buffoon.

    Andromache is like a classical Greek drama with all the conventions of the tragic events unfolding over a twenty-four hour period. But what makes it so fascinating is how psychologically rich and complex the characters are as they work their way through the very tough situations and choices they face, the ways in which they change their minds back and forth, and ultimately the role that chance and fate play in working together to bring about the ultimate tragedy.

    The rhyming verse in the Wilbur translation works really well, as usual, although is a slightly jarring way to hear a tragedy rather than what we normally associate with verse: a comedy.
