this followed helen & klytmenestra’s lives perfectly through the trojan war. i loved getting to see helen’s point of view as it is barely ever told. i learned of kyltmenestra’s story in a “thousand ships” by natalie haynes. i loved this story even though i have read countless retellings of the trojan war, any perspective never gets old
