Summary
Constanza Casati: Clytemnestra
A provocative portrait of queen, prophetess, and avenger.
"Circe lovers must read this powerfully told version of the Greek myth." - Cosmopolitan This is the story of a woman to whom mythology gives a secondary role. She is the sister of Helen - the woman for whom the Trojan War was fought, the wife of Agamemnon, the Mycenaean king who did not hesitate to sacrifice his daughter for the sake of warrior glory, the mother of Orestes persecuted by the Furies, the sacrificed Iphigenia and the steadfast Electra...
Always presented as a sister, mother, wife, Clytemnestra was for centuries only a role-bearer whose voice we did not hear.
But what would flesh and blood Clytemnestra be like? Before us is a Spartan princess, a strong woman, skilled with sword and spear, resourceful, protective of her gentler sister Helena. Sober, smart and noble, Clytemnestra was raised to be free and equal in everything to men.
And so, when fate offers her a choice, she chooses power and revenge.
