Summary
And Sita is here, safe and sound, and Rama, who laughs and smiles unabashedly, and Lakshman - Lakshman, his eyes tender, happy, joyous. There are so many things Urmila has to say, so many questions, so many reproaches, so many apologies and so many tears - but when their eyes meet again, an unspoken promise of love and reassurance passing between them, she is happy enough to wait.

Sita of Ur by Nintinugga
Fandoms: Ramayana - Valmiki, Ἑλένη - Ευριπίδης | Helen - Euripides
16 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
Helen is often maligned as an unfaithful woman who ran away with another man, causing the deaths of thousands in the Trojan War. But what if she never did? What if the whole thing was made up by foolish men and envious gods, and the War was fought for nothing, the real Helen never went to Troy at all? This is the scenario Euripides paints in Helen: that the Trojan War (and all other wars by extension) was meaningless, fought over a fantasy, because the real Helen was in Egypt all along, waiting faithfully for her husband.
In Sita of Ur, I have followed Euripides to tell the story of how the real Sita never went to Lanka, was never taken by Ravana; instead, she was taken across the Ocean to the Mesopotamian city of Ur, home to the Priestess Enheduanna, the world's oldest poet. There, she served as one of the naditu women cloistered in the Temple of Nanna, free from interference by men.
But Sargon, King of Sumer and Akkad and the world's first Emperor, noticed Sita. Used to always get what he wants, Sargon was determined to marry her, and so moved to Ur to harrass Sita into leaving the Temple. But like Menelaos, Rama her husband would soon arrive, blown by fierce winds across the Oceans of the world.

Summary
Homer's Iliad ends with a great city destroyed, and the Greeks, who themselves have lost the greatest of their heroes, ready to finally sail home. Euripides continues from here by telling the stories of the vanquished: the stories of the women of Troy, now left as slaves to be taken to Greece.
Hecuba tells how Polyxena daughter of Priam, a paragon of virtue and courage, has to sacrifice herself to Achilles' ghost, and how Hecuba, Priam's widow, takes her revenge on a former friend who betrayed her son. Lankan Women tells the same story from the perspective of Mandodari Ravana's widow, with Sita (who enters the flames after her husband rejects her) taking the place of the equally virtuous Polyxena, and Meghanada Mandodari's son taking the place of Polydoros in Euripides. My purpose with Lankan Women is to start a conversation between Valmiki and Euripides, to see if I could make it work.
Euripides makes quite a few changes to events from the Iliad to make Hecuba work. I have made corresponding changes to the Ramayana to make Lankan Women work. These changes I include in a note below. For the Ramayana I take the southern version where Sita is the daughter of Ravana and Mandodari.

Summary
“His hair was dark, like a deep blue sapphire
His face radiant as the full moon,
His arms long and lean,
His shoulders, dark and strong,
like massive gems, but -
it was his smile that captured my soul.”- Kamban, Ramavataram.

Summary
Lakshman always was the warrior, the quickest to anger, the defender out of the Raghu boys. Half the time, it was all bluster, but the other half, he had a cause. Oneshot.

Summary
Ravana decides to avenge Surpanakha by approaching the trio himself but ends up taking another, willing hostage instead. He must use this opportunity to rediscover his manhood--a fine line between finding closure and letting go of the past.
A new, dark short story based on the Ramayana which takes place from the Dandaka hut days and onward, exploring Ravana and Rama's desire to maintain control over their own manhood (and kingship). Both are stubborn in their own ways, but to what lengths will each go to preserve what they believe they hold most dear?
