GREAT WORKS SEMINAR: Euripides' The Trojan Women GENERAL RATE - Saturday, December 2, 4-8pm PT
The Hildegard College Great Works Seminar gives students, educators, professionals, parents, and community members the opportunity to read and discuss the ideas that have shaped history’s greatest civilizations. Join us at our FLDWRK campus for a meal, a Socratic-style conversation with Hildegard faculty, and a special lecture.
Suffering in the Wake of War: Euripides’ The Trojan Women
A popular tragedian known for his clever use of dialogue, Euripides won the Dionysian festivals only four times. Why? Because he highlighted ordinary citizens and women, unsettling audiences with the victim’s perspective, leaving spectators with pathos instead of catharsis. Written following the Athenian massacre of Melos for its neutrality during the Peloponnesian War, The Trojan Women uses the final destruction of Troy as a mythical framework to ask – who suffers most from war, the victors or the victims?
Dr. Verónica Gutiérrez will lead our discussion.
