The film was made with the minimum of changes to Edith Hamilton's translation of Euripides' original play, save for the omission of deities, as Cacoyannis said they were "hard to film and make realistic". ## Credits - **Director:** [Michalis Cacoyannis](https://cinepixo.com/people/michalis-cacoyannis) - **Screenplay:** [Michalis Cacoyannis](https://cinepixo.com/people/michalis-cacoyannis) - **Producer:** [Michalis Cacoyannis](https://cinepixo.com/people/michalis-cacoyannis) - **Editor:** [Michalis Cacoyannis](https://cinepixo.com/people/michalis-cacoyannis) - **Original Music Composer:** [Mikis Theodorakis](https://cinepixo.com/people/mikis-theodorakis) - **Director of Photography:** [Alfio Contini](https://cinepixo.com/people/alfio-contini) ## Cast - [Maria Farantouri](https://cinepixo.com/people/maria-farantouri) as Singer - [Katharine Hepburn](https://cinepixo.com/people/katharine-hepburn) as Hecuba - [Patrick Magee](https://cinepixo.com/people/patrick-magee) as Menelaus - [Mirta Miller](https://cinepixo.com/people/mirta-miller) as Woman - [Brian Blessed](https://cinepixo.com/people/brian-blessed) as Talthybius - [Vanessa Redgrave](https://cinepixo.com/people/vanessa-redgrave) as Andromache - [Geneviève Bujold](https://cinepixo.com/people/genevieve-bujold) as Cassandra - [Rosalind Shanks](https://cinepixo.com/people/rosalind-shanks) as Woman - [Irene Papas](https://cinepixo.com/people/irene-papas) as Helen of Troy ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
