    Herbst Seminar for Faculty and Staff:

    Wednesdays, Feb. 11-25, 2015 in ECOT 831, 12:00-12:50 PM


    Join new Herbst faculty member Andrea Kowalchuk for a
    discussion of Euripides

    Hecuba

    Is there room for nobility in the realm of politics and war, or are all
    men driven by necessity? Are the weak at the mercy of the
    strong? How much suffering can a human being endure before
    losing her humanity? In Euripides Hecuba, we encounter the
    fallen Trojan queen who has lost everything, and who desperately
    tries to save her daughters life by securing the aid of Greek
    soldiers. As she experiences tremendous suffering, we see her
    question men and gods, ultimately seeking revenge by her own
    hand.
