Clytemnestra

For lovers of Madeline Miller's breathtaking debut Circe, which tells the story of the events that shaped Clytemnestra into the fabled queen, the most infamous evil of antiquity.

Queens, on the other hand, are either forgotten or despised. She is already aware of the finest choice for her.

You marry a despot even if you were born to a king. You watch helplessly as he offers your kid as a sacrifice to appease the gods. You console yourself with your own violent ideas while you watch him wage war on a faraway land. if you have been the victim of offenses before. This was never the life you were meant to lead. And you won't fail because of this. You plan slowly.

But when your spouse triumphantly returns, you find yourself in a position of power.

Accusation or retaliation—both lead to notoriety. Thus, you wait patiently and force the gods' hands in the vengeance game. Because you realized a long time ago what the others were never able to.

You have to seize power if it isn't granted to you.

For readers who like Jennifer Saint and Natalie Haynes, this is a flaming book set in the realm of Ancient Greece. It's a gripping story of power and prophesies, hate and love, and a memorable Queen who ruthlessly gave out death to those who displeased her.
