Is there a single character in all of classical literature who gets more fucked over than Andromache?

>Achilles sacks her home city of Thebes, killing her father and brothers
>mother dies of illness shortly after
>husband killed by Achilles
>city sacked and her home and everyone she knows killed or enslaved
>only child ripped from her hands and thrown off from the walls of Troy
>enslaved by the Neoptolemus son of the guy who killed your husband and entire family
>taken away to foreign land to be a slave
>raped and impregnated by Neoptolemus
>nearly assassinated by daughter of the woman who is the root cause for all the above
