"A Spartan's Sorrow" by Hannah Lynn appears to be a novel that draws inspiration from Greek mythology, particularly the story of Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon. The narrative seems to center around Clytemnestra's perspective and her struggles during the Trojan War and its aftermath.

Clytemnestra's fear of Agamemnon's return, the sacrifice of their eldest daughter to appease the gods, and her vow to protect her remaining children suggest a tale of maternal resilience and sacrifice in the face of tragedy. The description hints at themes of revenge and the transformative effects of history on strong women, exploring how their actions can lead them to be perceived as monsters.

The reference to readers of Madeleine Miller and Natalie Haynes suggests that fans of modern retellings of classical myths and historical fiction may find this book intriguing. If you've read the book, I'd love to hear your thoughts or specific aspects you're interested in!

A beautifully written book about Clytemnesta and Orestes from Greek Mythology. It had me drawn in from the start. I will definitely be on the look out for future books by this author. This is a first read for me by this author and will not be the last!

An elegantly written story of Clytemnestra and Orestes and the Curse of the Atreus from Greek Mythology. Great for fans of the other recent stories about Clytemnestra.

No words. Hanna M Lynn is so graceful with her mythology retellings, the storylines are always so unpredictable and the raw emotion her characters display genuinely cannot help but have me mourning, raging and hurting alongside them .

I loved this. Such a graceful retelling with interesting portrayal of the gods and a mother's rage and grief written down so well

I jumped at these books. I've read them before and I loved them then, and I love them a bit more now. This book had me crying and just loving so hard. As a mother now, it just makes it worse and I feel the strength of Clytemnestra and how badly she wanted to protect her children.
