Elektra

So much more than just another Greek mythology retelling

Over the last few years, there has been a resurgence in Greek mythology: Circe, The Women of Troy, and Ariadne are just some of the titles I've read in the recent past. I love reading about the strong female characters from Greek mythology, especially when the stories are told from their points of view. Elektra is the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Clytemnestra is the twin sister of Helen of Troy. This is the story of these powerful women and the role they played in the Trojan War and beyond. Saint has made what can be confusing in the details, approachable and engaging. Recommended for those that like: Greek mythology, court-intrigue, powerful women, and character-driven novels.
