Jennifer Saint mistitles another book. Why name it after Elektra when she, like Ariadne before her, is the least interesting character in the narrative? Is it because Clytemnestra is so often seen as a villain? And why not explore more about the theme of vengeance? Why not continue the theme from Ariadne of the ways women are left to suffer from the actions of men? I’m still giving it three stars because it’s probably a more accessible way to learn this story than reading Aeschylus or Ovid but I’m going to tell people they should just read the source texts anyway. This retelling adds very little. I may not pick up another one of these. So far they’ve all disappointed me.
