Andromache
Metaichmio Publications | October 2022
A name meaning fighter of men, or fighting like men. Andromache, Hector’s wife, is defined by her name. After Achilles killed her husband, Neoptolemus killed her son by throwing him from the city walls and then took her back to Greece as a concubine, where she later gave birth to two of his sons. After Neoptolemus’ death, she married Helenus, Hector’s brother, and became Queen of Epirus. A life defined by men, good and bad alike.
This is the tragic story of a woman, wife and queen, who stood on the ashes of Troy and found herself having to love what she should wholeheartedly despise.
