      赫克犹巴的终生充满了苦楚与悲哀。她亲眼目睹了长子海克特被阿基里斯侮辱,尔后被杀害;儿子波利斯被皮洛士杀逝世在自己面前;年迈的丈夫皮安姆被拖到家庭祭坛残酷地处死。特洛伊沦陷后,她成了一名奴隶。她又可怜地看到了本人在奴役中的惟一安慰——女儿波里丝娜被血祭于阿基里斯的墓前。为了使最小的儿子波里德诺斯能得到妥善的照顾,她把他委托给了塞希国王。可是,可怜的福气又使她看到了被冲到海边的儿子的尸体。她的50个孩子都去世了,赫克犹巴因此成为悲痛女王,而别的女人都无奈得到这顶王冠。然而,即使处于痛苦悲伤与扫兴之中,她依然鼓足勇气向塞希国王复仇,因为塞希国王为了得到她儿子的黄金而杀死了他。后来,正如狄俄尼索斯所预言,她被变成了一条狗,眼带血丝。她不堪忍受这种新的痛楚,就跳进海里,结束了自己不幸的一生。

    西方的神话总是那么的沉重,那么的命运,每当用英文阅读完他们的故事,总感觉一股浓重的雾弥漫在自己心口,无法散开。赫克犹巴这位不幸的母亲,愿她来世平安快乐。
