Clytemnestra, what’s on your mind?

Oh Electra they'll never make me hate you. Not that i truly hate any character from the house or Atreus. What many people do often is jumping into defence mode for Clytemnestra whereas her actions speak of a layered personality that her actions influenced negatively her children.

Yes she lost a daughter, but Electra and Orestes also lost a sister. Grief became pain, anger twisting the knife of tragedy to this family. Clytemnestra became a mother isolated from her children, closed to her own revenge that caused her own kids to despise her, especially Electra, forced to marry a servant, becoming one by her own mother's hands. The kind of betrayal coming from your parents is a pain deep residing in the soul.

The family's story is one complex one as many of the families in Greek myths. What many however ignore often are how a mother's actions changed her family for the worse instead of being caring and kind.
