Clytemnestra is a lush and searing retelling of the ancient myth, brought to life by Constanza Casati and translated into Ukrainian by Lyubov Kotlyar. Published by Vivat in 2025, this 512‑page hardcover novel (format ~ 130×200 mm) immerses the reader in the world of power, prophecy, love, and vengeance in Ancient Greece.
Born to a king but subjected to betrayal and silence, Clytemnestra watches in horror as her husband sacrifices their child to appease the gods. With war raging, bound by tyranny yet burning with repressed rage, she must decide whether to accept her fate or seize power with her own hands. From plotting retribution to navigating love and grief, Casati crafts a portrait of a queen whose voice was stolen — and who will reclaim it no matter the cost.
Fans of myth‑inspired fantasy, feminist narratives, and epic storytelling will find Clytemnestra gripping. It’s for those who see myths not as static tales but as raw, bleeding epics of trauma, resilience, vengeance, and rebirth. Whether for your home library, reading group, or a quiet night of immersive fiction, this book’s height, heft, and ambition make it hard to put down.
