Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient Mediterranean

Conversations: I Promise We’re Not Defending Murder, Clytemnestra with Aimee Hinds


Listen Later

Liv speaks with Aimee Hinds about the intricacies of Clytemnestra's story and how storytellers and reception over millennia has affected the understanding of this powerful Spartan woman. Follow Aimee Hinds on Twitter, here and check out her incredible Etsy shop here.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources referred to: Aeschylys's Oresteia, Sophocles' Electra, Euripides' Orestes and Electra (ie, all the stories of the death of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra); Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis. For episodes covering Clytemnestra's story, refer to those on the Oresteia primarily, plus some early Trojan War and Atreidae Curse.
