JUNCO DE CALABRESE, Ethel Beatriz. Female atonement of war in The Trojan Women by Euripides. Valenciana [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.18, pp.125-145. ISSN 2007-2538.

In The Trojan Women by Euripides we observe the image of war in Western consciousness as the matrix of future identities facing two keys: the spacing of the divine and the female reaction. The logic of war is reversed in the purification virtue of the mother, holding her ability to give life through compassion, embodied in the burial, central act of the play. The burial for antonomasia of Troy, embodied in the shield of Hector to ensure Astyanax, is a sign of reconciliation by sacrifice and claim through the centuries of the superiority of peace.
