This is a great telling of an infamous queen and her family in ancient Greece. I wasn't familiar with the story of Clytemnestra so this was a surprise. I've certainly heard of Helen, Odysseus,Achilles and others so it was nice to have another person living in this time frame.

A mighty warrior, but also a woman forced to go along with the decisions of the men around her. Knowing love and motherhood to have it taken away and forced to another. The story of a prophecy that both women saw come true.

This story spoke volumes of a different time that most of us do not understand. When most of us are young adults, these characters are waging war and losing so many loved ones.

I enjoyed this story and the voice that it gives to women. Sometimes we have to endure and make choices during life. It is a long read and speaks of a different time, but is well worth it. A good tale of choices and living with what you are given.
