With unparalleled intensity, Euripides whom Aristotle called the most tragic of poets describes the horrific brutality that both women and children undergo during war.

This volume of Euripides' plays offers new translations of the three great war plays Trojan Women, Hecuba, and Andromache, in which the sufferings of Troy's survivors are harrowingly depicted. With unparalleled intensity, Euripides--whom Aristotle called the most tragic of poets--describes the horrific brutality that both women and children undergo during war. Yet, in the war's aftermath, this brutality is challenged and a new battleground is revealed where the women of Troy evince an overwhelming greatness of spirit.We weep for the aged Hecuba in her name play and in Trojan Women, while at the same time we admire her resilience amid unrelieved suffering. Andromache, the slave-concubine of her husband's killer, endures her existence in the victor's country with a stoic nobility. Of their time yet timeless, these plays insist on the victory of the female spirit amid the horrors visited on them by the gods and men during war.

The Best Disposable Dinner Plates I’ve Ever Used!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
The Best Disposable Dinner Plates I’ve Ever Used!
We’ve been so happy with the other JOLLY CHEF products that we decided to try this larger pack of dinner plates too, and honestly, these are the best disposable dinner plates I’ve ever used.
They’re sturdy, hold up well with heavier meals, and don’t get flimsy or soggy like many disposable plates do. I also appreciate that they’re made from sugarcane fiber instead of foam or plastic-coated paper products.
They’ve been especially great for RV trips, family gatherings, and busy days when saving water and skipping a sink full of dishes is a huge plus.
The large bulk pack is convenient to keep on hand, and I like that they’re eco-friendly and compostable while still feeling durable enough for real meals.
Very happy with this purchase.
I hope that this review helps you decide. I know it’s what I would’ve liked to hear when picking out compostable disposable plates.

Great paper plates
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I am very happy with the purchase of these plates as a healthier alternative to the coated paper plates you can buy in store. I was worried that they would get flimsy with wet foods but in my experience they hold their form and do the job intended and are durable. The size is great and allows a lot of food. I feel like thw price is fair and the quality is good. They are not decorated like the plates that are in store but I don't care about it being pretty. No harmful plastic or coating. Will definitely be a reoccurring purchase for our household.

Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
Great price great value and the quality is good. You can use them in a microwave no matter how you use them. They’re durable. They don’t break down and the flavor stays the normal. It doesn’t take the flavor away.
