I really enjoy Greek mythology and especially those that tell the tales from a different perspective. Knowing both of Helen and Clytemnestra, I was excited for Daughters of Sparta. However, I expected stronger female characters and instead they were portrayed in more traditional ways and acted (with the exception of murder) the way women were expected to act.
