Andromache

How would you stay professional if Andromache won this year?

We know the myths of Iphigenia and Andromache, so the plots Haynes imagines for them feel familiar, if the specifics seem more terrible.

Charlize Theron plays Andromache the Scythian, Andy for short, leader of a small band of warriors who have been helping people in trouble for a very long time.

Andromache held in her arms her son Astyanax, the little boy who had once shrunk back from his father’s high-crested helmet.

He soon abandoned her for Hermione, Helen’s daughter, but he did not long survive this marriage and after his death Andromache married the Trojan prophet Helenus.
