  • The Trojan Women is a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides. Produced during the Peloponnesian War, it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier in 415 BC, the same year the play premiered. 415 BC was also the year of the scandalous desecration of the hermai and the Athenians' second expedition to Sicily, events which may also have influenced the author. The Trojan Women was the third tragedy of a trilogy of dealing with the Trojan War. The first tragedy, Alexandros, was about the recognition of the Trojan prince Paris who had been abandoned in infancy by his parents and rediscovered in adulthood. The second tragedy, Palamedes, dealt with Greek mistreatment of their fellow Greek Palamedes. This trilogy was presented at the Dionysia along with the comedic satyr play Sisyphos. The plots of this trilogy were not connected in the way that Aeschylus' Oresteia was connected. Euripides did not favor such connected trilogies. Euripides did not win the drama competition at the Dionysia festival with this trilogy in 415 BC, and was beaten by the playwright Xenocles. The four Trojan women of the play are the same that appear in the final chapter of the Iliad lamenting over the corpse of Hector. Taking place near the same time is Hecuba, another play by Euripides.
  • Die Troerinnen sind eine Tragödie des Euripides, die vermutlich im März 415 v. Chr. anlässlich der Großen Dionysien aufgeführt wurde. Es gehörte zur Trilogie Alexandros - Palamedes - Troerinnen, die durch das Satyrspiel Sisyphos ergänzt wurde.
  • Las troyanas es una tragedia escrita por el dramaturgo griego Eurípides.
  • Les Troyennes est une tragédie d’Euripide, représentée pour la première fois durant les Grandes Dionysies du printemps de 415 av. J.C. La particularité des Troyennes réside dans son appartenance à une trilogie : alors que l’Alexandros traite des origines de la guerre de Troie, l’action du Palamède se déroule pendant le siège de la ville (un peu avant les événements narrés dans l’Iliade); les Troyennes clôt la trilogie en évoquant le sort des dernières survivantes d’Ilion après la prise de la ville par les Grecs. Les événements des Troyennes sont légèrement antérieurs à ceux traités dans l’Hécube.
  • Le Troiane, o Le Tròadi (Τρώαδες in lingua originale), è una tragedia di Euripide, rappresentata per la prima volta nel 415 a.C. L'opera venne messa in scena nell'ambito di una trilogia legata alla guerra di Troia, di cui facevano parte anche le tragedie Alessandro e Palamede (oggi perdute). Alla fine della trilogia venne rappresentato anche il dramma satiresco Sisifo (anch'esso perduto).
  • "Troiades", in het Nederlands Trojaanse Vrouwen, is een tragedie van de Griekse tragediedichter Euripides. Het werk werd opgevoerd in 415 v. Chr. Het onderwerp is wel geassocieerd met de dramatische val van Melos in datzelfde jaar, doch deze heeft eerst plaatsgegrepen geruime tijd nadat de productie van het stuk begonnen was
