	Andromache
		Andromache was the daughter of Eetion, ruler of the Cilician city of Thebe; she was the wife of the Trojan hero Hector and the mother of Astyanax.
		Andromache's father and brothers were killed by Achilles when he captured Thebe during the Trojan War; her mother was spared and ransomed, but died in Troy before its fall.
		Andromache herself became the slave and concubine of Neoptolemus, Achilles' son, when Troy was captured; her son Astyanax was flung by the Greeks from the walls of Troy.

	Andromache, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Andromache was in the eyes of many of too big complexion, and it has been said that only Hector 1 deemed her to be of moderate size.

		Andromache's mother, who was captured by Achilles and later ransomed by the Trojans, died of sickness before the end of the war.

	Andromache
		Andromache is the epitome of the loyal wife.
		While Seneca has Andromache compare her resolve to resist the Greeks with that of "fierce" Penthesilea and a "terrorizing" maenad, Andromache's power comes from her devoted loyalty to her family, both husband and sons.
		Andromache was then given to Pyrrhus (Neoptolemus), son of Achilles, as a spoil of the war.

	Andromache, By Euripides
		ANDROMACHE Yes, if her experiences are happy; otherwise, there is no honour in speaking of them.
		ANDROMACHE O citizens of Sparta, the bane of all the race of men, schemers of guile, and masters in lying, devisers of evil plots, with crooked minds and tortuous methods and ne'er one honest thought, 'tis wrong that ye should thrive in Hellas.
		ANDROMACHE Mine eyes are wet with tears, which trickle down my cheeks, as doth a sunless spring from a smooth rock.

	Ethics of Greek Theatre by Sanderson Beck
		Andromache has hidden her child by Neoptolemus out of fear of her lord's wife Hermione, daughter of Menelaus and Helen, while Neoptolemus is at Delphi.
		It appears that both Andromache and her son are to die; but Peleus arrives, has the two untied, and forces Menelaus to back down and depart.
		Andromache would rather die than be a slave too, but Hecuba encourages her to love Agamemnon for the sake of her son Astyanax.

	Women in Greek Myths
		Andromache plays two roles in the Iliad: she is the yin to Hektor's yang, and she is the "representative" of the Trojan women.
		Andromache helps to show the importance of family to Hektor, to clarify the cultural role of Trojan women, and to provide a Trojan woman's perspective on war.
		Andromache gains nothing with a noble death - kleos is for men, a woman's place is with her family.

	Andromache
		The Andromache, we are told, was not exhibited at Athens; but whether it appeared elsewhere, or was never produced upon the stage, is uncertain.
		In point of structure the Andromache is open to the same criticism as the Hecuba, and suffers from the looseness of the connection between the earlier and the later portions.
		In the opening scenes deep sympathy is excited by the peril of Andromache and Molossus; but as soon as they are rescued, they disappear from the stage and are heard of no more.

	Briseis and Andromache
		Andromache's speech to Hektor in Iliad 6, though it is not termed goos or threnos (which are the usual Greek words for lament), nevertheless exhibits this same structure.
		Andromache herself expresses a wish to die if she loses Hektor (6.410-411), and this wish too is a common feature of laments.
		Andromache's and Briseis' laments are representative of the way that wives and females in general comment on their status in the community once that the man whom they are mourning is dead.

		Andromache is a play about war and the way in which the violence of men repeats itself in reprisal and counter reprisal down the ages and through generation after generation.
		Andromache is the widow of Hector, who was killed in the Trojan wars.
		Into this tense family scene comes the Greek Orestes, who is on a mission to kill Andromache’s son, the logic being that if he succeeds, then the son will not be able to grow up and avenge his father.

		And here I dwell upon the boundaries of Phthia and Pharsalia's town, where Thetis erst, the goddess of the sea, abode with Peleus apart from the world, avoiding the throng of men; wherefore the folk of Thessaly call it the sacred place of Thetis, in honour of the goddess's marriage.

	Edinburgh Festivals - Andromache
		And yet in their brief hour, they lead us with terrific clarity and intensity through the story of the young King Pyrrhus’s crazed love for his prisoner Andromache, the captured widow of the great Trojan warrior Hector, and of the ferocious jealous rage of his promised bride Hermione.
		It’s as if the limitations of these movements only add to their fierce intensity, and to the sense that at any moment the story may end, fixing the characters where they are for all eternity.
		Although Edinburgh may have seen more accessible versions of Andromache, I doubt if it has ever seen one that strips the story more cleanly to its essentials; or gives us such a sense of how sexual love, misplaced or unrequited, can become the most tragic and destructive force of all.
