Kindle Notes & Highlights
When a war was ended, the men lost their lives. But the women lost everything else.
Chryseis had been born to disappoint him, and she had never let him down.
Men’s deaths are epic, women’s deaths are tragic: is that it?
She isn’t a footnote, she’s a person. And she – all the Trojan women – should be memorialized as much as any other person.
Just as I promised him: this was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of all of them. A war does not ignore half the people whose lives it touches. So why do we?
