I didn't read Ariadne and I was curious to see what this retelling of the story of Elektra was going to be.
The stories of the Atreidae are a complex mix of violence, revenge, and the women in this family were already strong women as told by Sophocles or Euripides.
As for Cassandra I think that the novel by Christa Wolf was the mother of all the Greek mythology feminist retelling.
That said I think that the author did a good job in developing her version of Elektra/Clytemnestra and Cassandra but even if I liked them I felt like something was missing and the mythological heroines were stronger and more complex.
It's an interesting read, the characters are fleshed out, and the historical side is well researched.
But I felt like the voice of the characters was too modern for such majestic and archaic heroines.
I'm sure this book can be appreciated by a lot of people, especially if you never met this women before.
It was not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
