杨周翰作品集：埃涅阿斯纪·特洛亚妇女
(ancient Rome) Virgil Seneca
"The Aeneid": a classic work by the ancient Roman writer Virgil; the first personally created epic in the history of European literature; representing the peak of the entire Roman literature. "The Trojan Women": one of the ten tragedies handed down by Seneca; a tragedy that greatly influenced the European Renaissance and neoclassicism in the 17th century. It imitates Greek tragedy in form, selects tragic themes from Greek mythology, alludes to the social reality of Rome, and reflects the dissatisfaction of the aristocratic opposition at that time against the tyranny and tyranny of the Roman emperor. The Aeneid is divided into 12 volumes. It tells the story of the hero Aeneas who left his homeland after the city of Troy was captured by the Greek army, went through hardships, and arrived in Italy to establish a new city-state (his descendants established Rome). It ended with the local tribe leader Turnus and Aeneas being killed in a duel. "Women of Trojan" is divided into five acts. It tells the story of the Greeks who used the Trojan horse trick to invade the city of Troy and gathered rich loot on the seaside. Among the spoils were Trojan women. They suffered the tragic fate usually suffered by subjugated women. They were waiting for the Greeks to draw lots, and then they would be separated and followed by their new masters to various enemy city-states. Everything is ready. Suddenly, the ghost of Achilles appears and demands that Polyxena be sacrificed to him before the Greeks can set sail. The sorcerer Calchas also requested that Astyanax be killed to avoid another Trojan War. Therefore, after enduring the endless disasters of war, the female captives of Troy had to endure this double misfortune.
