Brilliantly written, faithful to the myths surrounding Clytemnestra. I found this a very sympathetic retelling of her story and the story of the Atreidai. I really enjoyed reading the story of the Trojan war from the prespective of those who stayed, and how so many of the kings who went to Troy came back to stable, well-governed kingdoms run by their wives.
