ISBN: 9780241554777 / 0241554772 - Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati. Published by Michael Joseph, 2023. Softcover. Used, As New condition. 468 pp.

Condemned by Homer and the Greek poets as a sexually faithless, deceitful, murderous woman, Clytemnestra's voice is obscured by the spiteful judgement of history. A judgement that refuses to see her strength and her cunning, her grief and her rage. Costanza Cosati's dazzling debut isn't just a retelling of the consequences of war on women - it is about how women fought their own wars. Because Clytemnestra understood something that the others didn't: If power isn't given to you, you have to take it for yourself.

Giving voice to a woman condemned by history, this debut is an epic feminist retelling of the story of notorious Spartan queen, Clytemnestra.
