Clytemnestra

This chapter presents Clytemnestra as a first-person narrator recounting the tragic events of her own life, enabling readers to experience the familiar beats of these myths through her eyes and to imagine what she might have felt about the loss of Iphigenia and the return of Agamemnon after the war. The specific wording of several interactions has been fabricated by necessity, but there are no significant deviations from the plots found in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis. The Latin text enables readers to review gerundives.
