SUMMARY:West Coast Hellenic Book Club: Hecuba by Euripides
DESCRIPTION:John Gibson\, RAUlysses Forcing Polyxena from Hecuba to be SacrificedPhoto courtesy of the Royal Academy of Arts\, London \nWest Coast Hellenic Book Club: \nHecuba by Euripides \nDiscussion led by Professor Kathryn Morgan\, Joan Palevsky Professor of Classics at UCLA\, Professor Sharon Gerstel\, Director\, UCLA SNF Hellenic Center and Dr. Eirini Kotsovili\, Senior Lecturer\, Global Humanities at Simon Fraser University \nSaturday\, January 17\, 2026 \n10:00 A.M. Los Angeles / 8:00 P.M. Greece \nVia Zoom \nRSVP Here \nHecuba takes place after the Trojan War and centers on the former queen of Troy\, Hecuba\, who is a prisoner. First\, Hecuba is devastated by the sacrifice of her daughter Polyxena to honor Achilles. Then she learns that her son Polydoros has been murdered by King Polymestor\, who was supposed to protect him. In response\, Hecuba takes matters into her own hands\, blinding Polymestor and killing his sons. The play is a powerful look at grief\, revenge\, and how war strips people of their humanity. \nThis program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nLinks to purchase book: \nhttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hecuba-euripides/1136993799 \nhttps://www.vitalsource.com/products/hecuba-euripides-v9781585104345?duration=perpetual&srsltid=AfmBOoo17vpDTJoW5rheNJ_VvzWMFQ1K5Q8-F792_HdNeZQRnQnPtQuuNR4&gQT=1 \nFind out more about the West Coast Consortium of Hellenic Studies Programs
