Description
In his clear preface, Gilbert Murray says with truth that The Trojan Women, valued by the usage of the stage, is not a perfect play. It is only the crying of one of the great wrongs of the world wrought into music. Yet it is one of the greater dramas of the elder world.

Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it...
