Her devotion to her father is admirable, but I didn't really see the logic behind it. And all because she refused a God.Įlektra I was less taken in by. The frustration, the despair is always at the forefront of every action Cassandra takes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cursed by Apollo himself to see visions and have no one believe her, her desperate attempts to save Troy fall on deaf ears. She's a multi layered character, intelligent and a capable leader who seems to think she's putting her children first but really she's blind sighted by revenge. Her devotion to Agamemmnon is destroyed by the ultimate act of betrayal, and left to fester leads to some deadly consequences. Driven first by ambition and a desire to escape her sister Helen's shadow, she's forced into the role of Queen and wife to Agamemmnon - a man obsessed with the city of Troy. Play things of the Gods and men, this is their story, told in their own voices and how the curse of Atreus destroyed them all.Ĭlytemnestra is by far the most interesting character. Three women linked by misfortune and war. ARC received in exchange for an honest reviewĬassandra, Clytemnestra and Elektra. ![]()
