	'Hecuba' - The Trojan Women - Page 3
		As Talthybius he is humble and polite to Andromache, asking her to understand what must be done, as he tries to persuade her to make this tragic act happen quickly, less painfully.
		Talthybius is a soldier without a choice who has faced death on the battlefield for ten long years.
		I hear the queen’s resigned voice, desperately confident of Talthybius’s compassion, as she pleads to let Andromache be alone with her son for the few remaining moments of the child’s life.

	The Trojan Women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hecabe will be taken away with the Greek general Odysseus, and her daughter Cassandra is slated to become the conquering general Agamemnon's concubine.
		Helen begs her husband to spare her life and he remains resolved, at least through their departure, but the audience is led to believe that in the end, the woman's legendary beauty will win her a reprieve.
		Talthybius, taking some pity on the Trojan women, prepares the body for burial himself and helps them to inter him before Hecabe is finally taken off with Odysseus.

		TALTHYBIUS Come, child, leave fond embracing of thy woful mother, and mount the high coronal of thy ancestral towers, there to draw thy parting breath, as is ordained.
		TALTHYBIUS Hecuba, one ship alone delays its plashing oars, and it is soon to sail to the shores of Phthia freighted with the remnant of the spoils of Achilles' son; for Neoptolemus is already out at sea, having heard that new calamities have befallen Peleus, for Acastus, son of Pelias, hath banished him the realm.

		That evening the master of the TALTHYBIUS mustered the officers and gunners and announced that they were to remain on board the PING WO and crew her down to Australia.
		In the bunkers, the TALTHYBIUS contingent worked side by side with the RN and dockyard police, trimming the coal as it poured in until the maximum amount was on board in the early hours of February 15.
		The combined effect of old age and lack of adequate maintenance by her captors resulted in serious problems with boilers and machinery on the homeward voyage, to such an extent that it was considered inadvisable to send her through the Suez Canal and she took the longer route round the Cape.

		The son of Atreus drew the knife which he wore by the scabbard of his mighty sword, and began by cutting off some bristles from the boar, lifting up his hands in prayer as he did so.
		He cut the boar's throat as he spoke, whereon Talthybius whirled it round his head, and flung it into the wide sea to feed the fishes.

	THE BURIAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		In this play Talthybius is the herald of the Greek army who, having the task of announcing to the captive Trojan Women the dreadful decision of the Greek chiefs, handles this task with sympathy towards the victims.
		When Pyrrhos finally gives in he instructs Talthybius, the herald, to fetch the body and bring it to Hecuba, the child’s grandmother, in order that she might cover it with a shroud; after this Talthybius is to proceed to the burial.
		If Talthybius is a professional messenger who acts somewhat like an undertaker, Joseph is a professional undertaker who acts somewhat like a messenger: Joseph announces to Mary that Pilate has granted that her son be buried.

		Talthybius was salvaged by the Japanese and renamed Taruyasu Maru.

		One of the most poignant of Euripidean dramas, it presents not so much a narrative as a tragic situation: the condition of the Trojan women when their menfolk have been killed and they are at the mercy of their captors.
		Talthybius, the herald, announces that they are to be distributed among the victors.
		The Trojan queen Hecuba is to become the possession of the hated Odysseus; her daughter Cassandra has been allotted to Agamemnon, and it is revealed that her other daughter Polyxena has been slaughtered on the tomb of Achilles.

	Ethics of Greek Theatre by Sanderson Beck
		Talthybius describes how Polyxena died with courage and dignity and not as a slave, tearing her own robes to her expose her naked body to the sword.
		Talthybius informs her of the fates the Achaeans intend for her daughters.
		This hope is soon destroyed by news from Talthybius that Odysseus has persuaded the Greeks to put the boy to death, because he is the son of the hero Hector.

		She becomes conscious of the awed Talthybius, and, tearing off her garlands, goes to "the house of Death to lie beside my bridegroom," with a final word of comfort for her city and for Hecuba, who collapses to the ground, broken in grief.
		But the gentle Talthybius returns with news that Odysseus has prevailed in council, and ordered that the child is to be dashed to death from the wall; if Andromache casts a curse upon the Greek ships, the baby is to have no burial.
		Talthybius returns, bearing the body of Astyanax; he tells Hecuba that Andromache has asked that the babe be buried upon the great bronze shield of his father.

		The importance of the theme of due burial in the Iliad defines the achievement of the Sophoclean Antigone and Hecuba in Troades alike; Talthybius' sympathy, then, is not only a matter of feeling but of initiating one of the deepest enacted symbols of human fulfilment.
		The prologue assumes the reality of Olympian gods who will smash the Greek fleet on the voyage home, and it is for embarkation on this fleet that the people of the play depart.
		The presence of these gods is strongly felt in the inspired personage of Cassandra, in connection with whom the secular outlook of Talthybius appears strikingly limited, for all his humane feeling.

		In one of the most moving scenes in all of literature, his grandson Astyanax, a young child and the only surviving heir to the Trojan throne, is taken from his mother Andromache's grieving embrace and thrown to his death from the highest wall of the city.
		In fact, the only pity and decency presented among the Greeks is found in the Greek messenger Talthybius, who cleans the body of Astyanax and brings it to his grandmother Hecuba after Andromache's pleading to bury him is denied as she is taken away to her fate as a Greek slave.
		In this play the Greeks do more than enslave women: they have already slain a young girl as a sacrifice to the ghost of Achilles and they take Astyanax, the son of Hector, out of the arms of his mother so that he can be thrown from the walls of Troy.

		Andrew Long as the messenger Talthybius is the antiheroic counterpart to the brave Hecuba, which is not to say that like her he does not have a moment of understanding.
		But Hecuba's realization that all hope is lost, that the gods will never save her is permanent; Talthybius's realization that he can feel pity, that he is no good at carrying out murder, is only temporary.
		Just as in the opening she emphasized human guilt in the face of silly and ineffective gods, Akalaitis shines a spotlight on the faulty Talthybius's humanity.
