person
Andromache
also: Ἀνδρομάχα, Ἀνδρομάχη
Daughter of Eëtion, king of Thebe under Plakos; Hector's bride. Fr. 44 sings her wedding voyage and welcome — the one radiant day the Iliad's hearers knew she would lose.
Reading notes
- Fragments of Book Two §44 Andromache
Eëtion's daughter, brought from Thebe with bracelets, purple robes, embroideries, silver and ivory. The bridal-goods catalogue answers epic's spoil-catalogues: the same wealth, sailing toward a marriage instead of out of a sack.
