The Fate of Andromache

Description

"No! for my life ended in the day that hapless Troy was destroyed with my lord, that glorious warrior, whose spear oft made a coward like thee quit the field and seek thy ship. But now against a woman hast thou displayed the terrors of thy panoply, my would-be murderer. Strike then! for this my tongue shall never flatter thee or that daughter of thine. For though thou wert of great account in Sparta, why so was I in Troy. And if I am now in sorry plight, presume not thou on this; thou too mayst be so yet."
-- Andromache, Eurpides

After watching the death of both her beloved husband and then her young son at the hands of the Greeks, one might think Andromache would be compliant in the hands of her captor. She is not. She has the wherewithal to look him in the eye and let him know that he may yet find himself in her position - A Trojan princess, the daughter of the great King Eetion and a name that means "she fights like a man" Andromache is one of the great women of Greek mythology. This headband is colored like the waters surrounding her home and given the jewels of peacock eye feathers, a rare beauty, just like Andromache.

Hand cut decorative paper leaves adorn this wide band interlaced with peacock feathers. The result is something, bold, unique and eye-catching, just like you. Match this with your toga, or battle gear..or even your little black dress. After all, you've got ten years in your city to kill...why not spice it up a little?
