Last published Fri, Dec 26, 2025
When the walls of Troy fell, and her husband, Prince Hector, was slain by Achilles, Andromache lost everything - her family, her home, her freedom.
Caught in the whirlwind of men's ambitions and the cruelty of the victors, she becomes a slave in a foreign land, a rival to a queen, and a mother to a child many would wish to see dead.
This is not a story about warriors.
It is a tragic story of a woman who, in a world built on violence, found the strength to survive.
