Clytemnestra – Summary
As for queens, they are either hated or forgotten. She already knows which option suits her best…
Mother. Monarch. Murderer. Magnificent.
You play the part, fooling enemies who deny you justice. Slowly, you plot.
You are Clytemnestra.
But when the husband who owns you returns in triumph, what then?
Acceptance or vengeance, infamy follows both. So, you bide your time and force the gods’ hands in the game of retribution. For you understood something long ago that the others never did.
If power isn’t given to you, you have to take it for yourself.
