Helen: A Beautiful Excuse for the Trojan War

古希腊戏剧一向关注人神的关系,强调命运观念,崇尚人的尊严。对于特洛亚战争,许多剧作家多渲染战争的悲壮、英雄的光荣。欧里庇得斯却能从这场伟大的战争中发现它给希腊和特洛亚所带来的无尽的灾难,因此,剧作家在许多作品中都表现了对战争的深刻反思和真诚忏悔。

Many ancient Greek dramas dealt with the relationship between God and mortals, and put emphasis on human destiny and dignity. Unlike other dramatists, who played up the moving and tragic sight of the Trojan War, in many of his dramas he showed his review of the war and his sincere confession.
