Clytemnestra's Bind | Susan C Wilson

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

Perfect for fans of CIRCE and THE SONG OF ACHILLES, this is the first instalment in an epic three-part series.
The House of Atreus is spiralling into self-destruction—a woman must find a way to break the family curse.
Queen Clytemnestra’s world shatters when Agamemnon, a rival to the throne of Mycenae, storms her palace, destroys her family and claims not only the throne but Clytemnestra herself. Tormented by her loss, she vows to do all she can to protect the children born from her unhappy marriage to Agamemnon. But when her husband casts his ruthless gaze towards the wealthy citadel of Troy, his ambitions threaten to once more destroy the family Clytemnestra loves.
From one of Greek mythology’s most reviled characters—a woman who challenged the absolute power of men—comes this fiery tale of power, family rivalry and a mother’s burning love.

Before Clytemnestra was a murderer, she was a mother.

I am such a sucker for retellings of the “evil” women of Greek mythology! By focusing on the years Clytemnestra raised her children, we get a depth of character that impressed me. I would have liked more depth given to the children, but otherwise this was a solid story! Although Clytemnestra‘s passivity to the will of the gods did end up irritating me a bit. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern Also, side note, but I resent just a little bit any Greek retelling that makes me pity Menelaus. 9mo

Obsessed with this book now!

But I feel like there have been quite a few books on Clytemnestra recently and we all need to move on from marketing them as a story about a despised woman because literally no woman despises her in this day and age
