Abstract
The paper contests a traditional view of Euripides' Andromache as of a tragedy without inner unity. Its unity is to be seen in parallelism and contrasts of its episodes developing several constant themes, the most important of them being enmity and marriage. The meaning and the place of these themes in the dramatic structure becomes more apparent if one assumes that their sense was rather symbolic than direct and reflected the contemporary political events. Production of Andromache could have been connected with the peace treaty between Athens and the Molossians in the early 20s of the 5th century BC.
