About this book

Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati is a strong vision of one of the most memorable characters of Ancient Greek mythology. The tragedy examines Clytemnestra’s story to her personal misfortunes, and to her maneuvers in becoming a vengeful queen that wanted only to survive. The book by Casati is emotionally powerful and descriptive, thus, retelling the story of a woman, who goes against the spirit of her epoch.

Clytemnestra retells the house of Atreus from the woman who kills Agamemnon, starting long before Troy with her first husband and infant killed by the man she is then forced to marry. Casati grew up in Italy, studied ancient Greek, and the Spartan childhood sections are drawn from what is actually known about the agoge rather than invented for atmosphere.
