The Suppliant Women is more accurately attributed to Euripides, not Sophocles, and it tells the poignant story of the mothers of the fallen Argive warriors who were denied burial after their sons perished attacking Thebes. These grieving women, accompanied by the aged hero Adrastus, appeal to Athens for help in recovering the bodies, invoking religious duty and moral obligation. The play centers on themes of human dignity, the sacred right to burial, and the ethical responsibilities of a just state.
