Introducing the famous retelling—the story of Clytemnestra’s life and revenge!
Who is Clytemnestra?
She was the sister of Helen of Troy, the unfaithful wife and the murderer of the great king Agamemnon, the mother who lost a daughter and died at the hands of her own son. But that’s only part of her fate.
The Spartan princess was married off against her will to a man she hated. After enduring losses and suffering, she no longer believed in the heroic death—because all that remains after it are stories passed along by other people’s lips.
When her husband returned victorious from the Trojan War, she faced a choice: submit to fate or take her revenge. As a warrior by nature, she didn’t rely on the gods’ mercy and stepped into the game of retribution.
“Clytemnestra” is an engrossing tale of power and prophecy, of hatred and love, of a queen who ruthlessly destroys those who cause her pain.
