 AndromacheJean RacineIn Andromache, or Andromaque, Jean Racine plays out stories of the Trojan War as told by Euripides and Virgil. Racine's tragedy centers on a chain of unrequited love: Hector's death by Achilles leaves widow Andromache in slavery to Achilles's son, Pyrrhus, and facing the sacrifice of her only son, Astyanax. Pyrrhus loves Andromache, who's devoted to Hector. Spartan King daughter Hermione, loved by Agamemnon's son Orestes, looks to please Pyrrhus as his betrothed wife. Search this CliffsNote
