The Trojan Women: A Comic

Meer over het boek

The comic-book adaptation reimagines Euripides's The Trojan Women, focusing on the aftermath of Troy's destruction through the experiences of Hekabe, Andromache, and Kassandra. In a unique artistic approach, characters are depicted as animals to symbolize the dehumanizing effects of war, while Kassandra retains her human form, reflecting her psychological detachment. This collaboration between visual artist Rosanna Bruno and poet Anne Carson offers a poignant exploration of the emotional toll of conflict on individuals.
