![]() ![]() ![]() Pretty, blonde Jodie Olliver played the beautiful Helen and we did indeed see destruction. In this play, I had to act crazy and say insane things about how my newly returned brother Paris – played by James Tedeschi – was going to cause the destruction of the town. I was given the role (quite suitable now I think about it more) of Cassandra, the fortune-teller and daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. When I was 9 years old we did a play called Troy at my primary school. Troy is where my love of all things Greek mythology started. So, this book is based before, during and after the sacking of Troy. Need a bit more? Clytemnestra was the sister of Helen of Troy – the face that launched a thousand ships. That being said, I know that a lot of people loved it so I will post the link to my review below and let you make your own minds up.įor anyone who isn’t quite sure who Elektra is she is the youngest child of King Agamemnon of Mycenae and his wife Clytemnestra. I gave the book 2 stars on Goodreads and though that feels a little mean, I am going to stick by that because of issues I personally had with the story. In July of 2021, I reviewed Jennifer Saint’s first mythologically focused novel, Ariadne for my podcast, and though this genre remains one of my favourites the book was not what I had expected. ![]()
