Notes

Description
"For millennia, men have told the legend of the woman whose face launched a thousand ships-but now it's time to hear her side of the story. Daughters of Sparta is a tale of secrets, love, and tragedy from the women behind mythology's most devastating war, the infamous Helen and her sister Klytemnestra"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
As princesses of Sparta, Helen and Klytemnestra have known nothing but luxury and plenty. With their high birth and unrivaled beauty, they are the envy of all of Greece. While still only girls, the sisters are separated and married to foreign kings of their father's choosing: the powerful Agamemnon, and his brother Menelaos. Yet even as Queens, each is only expected to do two things: birth an heir and embody the meek, demure nature that is expected of women. As the weight of their husbands' neglect, cruelty, and ambition becomes too heavy to bear, Helen and Klytemnestra push against the constraints of their society to carve new lives for themselves. -- adapted from back cover
