When A Thousand Splendid Suns said like compass needle that points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman; and when it said, a man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you; and when it said, I will follow you to the ends of the world; when it said it always falls on the sober to pay for the sins of the drunk; when it said And I wrote you. Volumes. Volumes; and when it said but the game involves only male names. Because, if it's a girl, Laila has already named her; when it said One last time, Mariam did as she was told; and when it-

In the words of Kafka, the sentiment that anything we hold dear is prone to slipping from our grasp resonates deeply. The truth of his observation is undeniable: the things we cherish most are often ephemeral, destined to fade away. Yet, within this paradox lies a glimmer of hope. Love, a force that defies reason and transcends boundaries, possesses an innate resilience. It may elude us in its familiar form, slipping through our fingers like grains of sand. But as time unfolds its intricate tapestry, love has a way of reemerging, transformed and reimagined. It manifests anew, a testament to its enduring nature. Kafka's insight serves as a poignant reminder that the cycle of loss and rediscovery is an intrinsic facet of the human experience, an enigmatic dance between vulnerability and resurgence.

"Echoes of Tragedy: Euripides' The Trojan Women through Gilbert Murray's Lens"
Tumblr media
In the haunting corridors of ancient Greek tragedy, Euripides' "The Trojan Women" stands as a timeless testament to the ravages of war and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. Translated with eloquence and emotional resonance by Gilbert Murray, this rendition breathes life into the poignant narrative of women grappling with the aftermath of the Trojan War.
Murray's translation is a delicate dance between preserving the essence of Euripides' verses and making them accessible to a modern audience. The language is both lyrical and evocative, capturing the profound grief, resilience, and defiance of the Trojan women as they confront the ruins of their once-mighty city. The translator's mastery lies not only in his linguistic prowess but in his ability to convey the visceral emotions embedded in the original text.
"The Trojan Women" unfolds as a lamentation, an anguished chorus of voices mourning the fates thrust upon them by the capricious whims of war. Through Murray's lens, the stark realities faced by Hecuba, Andromache, and Cassandra resonate with a rawness that transcends centuries. The translator weaves tragedy into every line, inviting readers to bear witness to the harrowing consequences of conflict.
Murray's understanding of Greek drama shines through in his meticulous attention to the nuances of each character. Hecuba's regal sorrow, Andromache's maternal grief, and Cassandra's prophetic agony are not just words on a page; they are profound expressions of the human condition. The translator's choice of language creates a symphony of voices, harmonizing the individual sorrows into a collective elegy for a fallen city.
The enduring power of "The Trojan Women" lies not only in its exploration of the consequences of war but in its ability to transcend its historical context. Gilbert Murray's translation serves as a bridge between ancient and modern, inviting readers to witness the universality of human suffering and resilience. As the final echoes of Troy's tragedy reverberate through the pages, Murray ensures that Euripides' masterpiece retains its relevance and emotional potency for generations to come.
Euripides' "The Trojan Women" Translated by Gilbert Murray is available in Amazon in paperback 10.99$ and hardcover 18.99$ editions.

Antigone
In Greek mythology, Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus. After the quarrel between her brothers ending in them both being killed, Antigone is determined to bury Polynices despite King Creon's wishes, and is punished. For defying Creon's wishes, she is sentenced to be buried alive in a tomb. You are, above all, resilient. You have known grief in your life, but you face your trauma with your head held high. You are immensely strong, intelligent, and passionate. You don't believe in irony or indifference. You are brave and inspire awe in those who closest to you.

I lost the love of my life on December 6, 2019 to a catastrophic brain bleed. It was without any warning making it what is known as a complicated death. That day and every day since my life has never been the same so it’s like I died too. Nothing can ever be the same. Nothing is permanent. Now I’m on a journey to figure out what to do with myself and maybe even help others who have lost someone. Thank you for letting me share my story…

You get stronger when your muscles break down to build back up again.
It is exactly the same process for emotional resilience.
