Summary "A Trachinian Women" by Sophocles is a classic Greek tragedy written in the late 5th century BC. This play centers on the character Dejanira, the wife of Herakles, as she grapples with her insecurities and fears regarding her husband’s fidelity and safety, reflecting themes of love, betrayal, and tragic fate. The opening of the play introduces Dejanira, who reveals her troubled past, highlighting her marriage to Herakles amid her anxieties. She recalls her unorthodox wooing, which involved her near-miss with a river god named Achelous. As she anxiously awaits Herakles's return from a long absence, she contemplates a dark plan involving a poisoned garment, a gift she had received from the dying centaur Nessos, aiming to secure her husband's love. The atmosphere is charged with tension as Dejanira grapples with the potential consequences of her actions, foreshadowing the tragic events that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
