		Polyxena knew that the treaty had already been signed and she, whether for love or alliance, was a part of the agreement.

		Polyxena thought briefly, as she walked by him, of her silly childhood wish to marry her Uncle Leonidas but as they reached the outside and Arybbas gave her hand to Philip, she forgot the past.

	Playwright Michael Bettencourt - Writing Plays In The Time Of War
		Polyxena sees this as an opportunity to get revenge on Achilles, so she agrees and lures Achilles back to the same temple in order to seal the deal.
		The play is about the collateral damage of war -- Polyxena is innocent of any responsibility for starting or maintaining the war, yet her death, the last of the conflict, is supposedly justified by a righteous anger grounded in Achilles’; petulance and bombast.
		It is a play full of blood and cynicism, of Polyxena’s anger as she tries to make the senseless make sense, to make her death mean more than butchery and the auguries of continuing bloodiness.
