Women of Trachis is Sophocles' haunting tragedy of love, loyalty, and unintended destruction. As Deianeira waits for the return of her husband Heracles, hope gives way to fear, jealousy, and a choice that cannot be undone. Exploring the tragic consequences of even the best intentions, the play examines trust, human frailty, and the limits of knowledge. Ian Johnston's clear, modern translation makes one of Sophocles' most moving dramas accessible to today's students, teachers, and general readers.
