Although tales such as the Iliad and Aeneid are thousands of years old, their characters continue to live on through modern retellings. This thesis, which contains the foundations of a novel prospectively entitled The Andromachiad, compiles the story of the classical character Andromache by looking at the texts she appears in. In-depth analysis of ancient works Andromache, the Iliad, and the Aeneid, coupled with thorough readings of modern novels such as Song of Achilles, Circe, Lavinia, and The Penelopiad, allow for the development of a complex and thorough narrative. Six completed chapters and one prospective draft provide a voice for and imagine the life of Andromache.
