Clytemnestra's Bind | 
pickBefore 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. 7mo
