In Greek mythology, Andromache was the wife of Hector, daughter of Eetion, sister to Podes. She was raised in the city of Cilician Thebe, over which her father ruled; the name means "man battler" or "fighter of men" or "man's battle", from the Greek stem ἀνδρ- "man" and μάχη "battle". During the Trojan War, after Hector was killed by Achilles and the city taken by the Greeks, the Greek herald Talthybius informed her of the plan to kill Astyanax, her son by Hector, by throwing him from the city walls; this act was carried out by Neoptolemus who took Andromache as a concubine and Hector's brother, Helenus, as a slave. By Neoptolemus, she was the mother of Molossus, according to Pausanias, of Pielus and Pergamus; when Neoptolemus died, Andromache became Queen of Epirus. Pausanias implies that Helenus' son, was by Andromache. In Epirus Andromache faithfully continued to make offerings at Hector’s cenotaph. Andromache went to live with her youngest son, Pergamus in Pergamum, where she died of old age.

Andromache was famous for her fidelity and virtue, her character represents the suffering of Trojan women during war. Homer. Iliad VI, 390–470: XXII 437–515 Bibliotheca III, xii, 6, Epitome V, 23. Euripides. Andromache. Euripides; the Trojan Women. Virgil. Aeneid III, 294–355. Ovid. Ars Amatoria III, 777–778. Seneca; the Trojan Women. Sappho's Fragment 44 Andromache was born in Thebe, a city that Achilles sacked, killing her father Eetion and seven brothers. After this, her mother died of illness, she was taken from her father's household by Hector. Thus Priam’s household alone provides Andromache with her only familial support. In contrast to the inappropriate relationship of Paris and Helen and Andromache fit the Greek ideal of a happy and productive marriage, which heightens the tragedy of their shared misfortune. Once Achilles kills Hector, Andromache is utterly alone. Andromache is therefore alone when Troy falls and her son is killed. Notably, Andromache remains unnamed in Iliad 22, referred to only as the wife of Hector, indicating the centrality of her status as Hector's wife and of the marriage itself to her identity.

The Greeks divide the Trojan women as spoils of war and permanently separate them from the ruins of Troy and from one another. Hector's fears of her life as a captive woman are realized as her family is stripped from her by the violence of war, as she fulfills the fate of conquered women in ancient warfare. Without her familial structure, Andromache is a displaced woman who must live outside familiar and safe societal boundaries. Andromache's gradual discovery of her husband's death and her immediate lamentation culminate the shorter lamentations of Priam and Hecuba upon Hector's death. In accordance with traditional customs of mourning, Andromache responds with an immediate and impulsive outburst of grief that begins the ritual lamentation, she casts away her various pieces of headdress and leads the Trojan women in ritual mourning, both of which they did. Although Andromache adheres to the formal practice of female lamentation in Homeric epic, the raw emotion of her discovery yields a miserable beginning to a new era in her life without her husband and without a home.

The final stage of the mourning process occurs in Iliad 24 in the formal, communal grieving upon the return of Hector's body. In Iliad 22, Andromache is portrayed as the perfect wife, weaving a cloak for her husband in the innermost chambers of the house and preparing a bath in anticipation of his return from battle. Here she is carrying out an action Hector had ordered her to perform during their conversation in Iliad 6, this obedience is another display of womanly virtue in Homer's eyes. However, Andromache is seen in Iliad 6 in an unusual place for the traditional housewife, standing before the ramparts of Troy. Traditional gender roles are breached as well. Although her behavior may seem nontraditional, hard times disrupts the separate spheres of men and women, requiring a shared civic response to the defense of the city as a whole. Andromache's sudden tactical lecture is a way to keep Hector close, by guarding a section of the wall instead of fighting out in the plains. Andromache's role as a mother, a fundamental element of her position in marriage, is emphasized within this same conversation.

Their infant son, Astyanax, is present at the ramparts as a maid tends to him. Hector takes his son from the maid, yet returns him to his wife, a small action that provides great insight into the importance Homer placed on her care-taking duties as mother. A bonding moment between mother and father occurs in this scene when Hector's helmet scares Astyanax, providing a moment of light relief in the story. After Hector's death in Iliad 22, Andromache's foremost concern is Astyanax's fate as a mistreated orphan. In Euripides' The Trojan Women, Andromache despairs at the murder of her son Astyanax and is given to Neoptolemus as a concubine. In his Andromache, Euripides dramatizes when she and her child were nearly assassinated by Hermione, the wife of Neoptolemus and daughter of Helen and Menelaus, she is the subject of a tragedy by French classical playwright Jean Racine, entitled Andromaque, a minor character in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida. In 1857, she importantly appears in B
