"Like a spider, he is carrying me seaward step by step--a nightmare, a black nightmare. Oh! Oh!"
It is finished.
Troy is gone.
Old life, old hearth and home, destroyed.
And now Hecuba, Cassandra, Andromache, Helen and a chorus of fallen women await their fate.
No grief can encompass what they feel. No funeral song. They sing the death song of a city, a culture, a whole population.
Troy stands for all of us. A civilisation going down in blood and fire.
But the Gods are angry.
"When a man sacks a town and destroys everything...the same destruction, sooner or later, will fall on his own head."
Some agonies are beyond telling - others must be told.
