Clytemnestra's story of her own life in ancient Mycenae, the legendary Greek city from which her husband King Agamemnon went as he sailed with his troops to Troy. Clytemnestra ruled Mycenae now, along with her new lover Aegisthus, and together they planned the bloody murder of Agamemnon on her return day after nine years of war.
Responded, hated, condemned by the gods he had long believed in, Clytemnestra revealed a tragic story that led to this bloody act: how her husband deceived his eldest daughter, Iphigeneia with the promise of marrying Achilles, only to sacrifice him because that is what he was commanded will make the wind blow to support it and bring it to Troy. how he seduced and collaborated with Aegisthus prisoners, who shared his bed in darkness and could kill. how Agamemnon returned with his own lover; and how Clytemnestra finally reached his revenge because of his amazing betrayal his quest for victory, greater than his love for his son.
At the House of Names, Colm Tóibín brings modern sensibilities and language into the ancient classical language, and gives this amazing new life, so we not only believe in Clytemnestra's thirst for revenge, but clap it. He brilliantly inhabits the minds of one of the most powerful Greek mythical villains to express the love, lust, and pain he feels. Told in the crawling section, this is a very dramatic portrait shot, to be killed by his own son, Orestes. his capture by the power of his mother's lover Aegisthus, his escape and exile. And this is the story of the vengeful Electra, who watches his mother and Aegisthus with cold anger and slow calculations, until the return of his brother, he has the fate of both in his hands.
