The Trojan Women

Meanwhile the women of the court were assigned as slaves to the Greek victors. Hector’s widow Andromache fell to Neoptolemus, while Queen Hecuba was given to Odysseus. The unhappy Cassandra was raped by the younger Ajax before Agamemnon’s mean seized her and took her to the king. Her violator did no go unpunished, for he was shipwrecked on the way home, and Poseidon made sure he drowned.
