Mother. Wife. Ruler. Murderer.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the life of Clytemnestra, one of Greek mythology’s most notorious and polarising queens. Come on the journey from the Spartan royal household to the blood-soaked palace of Mycenae. We’re tracing her journey from egg to grave (yes, egg, really) and asking the ultimate question: Was she a cold-blooded monster, or a grieving mother seeking justice?

Clytemnestra's story continues to captivate us, instilling not just fear but profound sympathy. If you love modern feminist mythology retellings like Madeline Miller’s Circe, Natalie Haynes' A Thousand Ships, or Costanza Casati’s Clytemnestra, this episode is for you. Equally, if you've never heard of her - we got you covered!

We pull back the layers of ancient Greek tragedy to explore the devastating betrayal of King Agamemnon, and the curse that followed her family for generations. Is she the villain of the Trojan War, or its most tragic survivor? Listen now and decide for yourself.
