With The Odyssey making its way back into the spotlight, we're bringing back one of our favorite episodes on one of Greek mythology's most misunderstood women: Clytemnestra.
While Odysseus is celebrated as the hero of The Odyssey, Clytemnestra has spent thousands of years cast as a villain. But her story is far more complicated than the legends would have you believe. From unimaginable loss to impossible choices, we explore the events that led to one of mythology's most infamous acts of revenge and ask whether history got her story wrong. Spoilers: we think so.
If The Odyssey has you diving back into Greek mythology, this is the perfect place to start.
