Chapter 6
The problem with Strong Female Characterifying mythological women like this is if Clytemnestra was a such a tough fighter and great huntress, why did she need Aegisthus? Why doesn’t she just kill Agamemnon herself? Clytemnestra in mythology was a careful plotter who used the power she could amass in a deeply patriarchal, misogynistic society to accomplish her goal - why isn’t that good enough?
