MIRA BOHORQUEZ, Paula Cristina. Justicia en Troyanas de Eurípides. Circe clás. mod. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.38-59. ISSN 1851-1724.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/circe-2021-250202.

In this article, I will study some passages of Euripides' The Trojan Women in search of possible meanings of justice in the text. First, I will analyze the pact made between Poseidon and Athena in the first part of the prologue (1-97); then, I will concentrate on the paradoxical intervention of Cassandra, before being embarked as Agamemnon's slave (308-461); finally, I will highlight some points of the agón between Hecuba and Helen, which has Menelaus as judge (860-1059). I consider that in these passages there is some allusion to weak conceptions of justice, although I will come to pessimistic conclusions in this regard.

Keywords : Justice; Trojans; Hecuba; revenge; Helen.
