Enough of this history nonsense. Professor Kozlowski returns to form with a deep-dive examination of Euripides' The Trojan Women, looking especially at the way Euripides uses (and abuses) Homeric form, theme, and content to make a compelling political argument preventing the greatest political and military catastrophe in the history of Athens. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work.
CW: Discussion of rape and trauma in the fallout of Troy's destruction, plus generally depressing material throughout
