The Greek and Latin Department
in the Faculty of Humanities at UJ, in
co-operation with the Consulate
General of Greece in Johannesburg,
present a unique screening of “Women of
Trachis”, as staged by the National
Theatre of Greece at the Ancient
Theatre of Epidaurus.
“Women of Trachis is a riveting tragedy set in
motion by Deianeira’s all-consuming passion for
Heracles. Sophocles presents us with a world
in which Eros-inflamed heroes commit wild and
uncontrollable acts; a poisonous and destructive
world in which the gods are vengeful and
knowledge does not lead to the light.”
We invite you to join us for an exclusive
screening of this masterpiece. The
internationally acclaimed Director Thomas
Moschopoulos will be joining us on both
evenings to introduce the film.
