<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''''Andromache''''' (c. [[425 BC]]) is a play by [[Euripides]]. It follows [[Andromache]] during her life as a slave, years after the events of the [[Trojan War]]. <br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
During the Trojan War, Andromache's husband [[Hector]] was slain by [[Achilles]]. Their child [[Astyanax]] was dropped off the Trojan walls by the Greeks for fear that he would grow up and avenge his father and city. Andromache was made a slave of [[Neoptolemus]], son of [[Achilles]]. These events are depicted in ''[[The Trojan Women]]'', another play by Euripides. Years pass and Andromache has a child through Neoptolemus. However, Neoptolemus weds Hermione, daughter of [[Menelaus]] and [[Helen]], and Hermione is very jealous of the relationship between Andromache and Neoptolemus. Fearing for her life and the life of her child, Andromache hides the child and seeks refuge in the temple of [[Thetis]], mother of [[Achilles]]. <br />
