![]() Cassandra is also a mythological figure who drew so much of my curiosity and sympathy. ![]() ![]() I had always wanted to tell her side of that story. I started with Clytemnestra – what happens to her when her daughter Iphigenia is promised in marriage to Achilles is a moment in Greek mythology that always resonated very powerfully with me from the first time I read it as a child. I always intended to have all three women as narrators but their roles definitely evolved a lot over the course of writing it. Was that part of your plan for this book from the beginning, or did it evolve? ![]() Elektra’s name is on the cover, but Clytemnestra and Cassandra also get to say their piece. One of the things I loved most about both your previous book, Ariadne, and this one is that the title character isn’t the only one whose perspective we see. ![]()
