Numerous myths surround the supposed failure of Ermione ,and while Rossini himself feared the subject might be 'overly tragic', he was clearly fond of the work, keeping its manuscript until his death. Ermione is set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, with the Greek princess Ermione consumed with jealousy because Pirro has forsaken her and fallen in love with Andromaca, the widow of Hector.
