Clytemnestra was Agamemnon's wife, mother of Iphigenia, who murdered her husband for sacrificing their daughter. She's been the patient avenger, the adulteress, the mother who kills for her child.
How it opens
She's murdering him in the bath, avenging, motherly, triumphant.
I have waited long, my love, for this moment. The bath is warm, the water crimson with his blood. I have planned, I have schemed, and now, I have my vengeance.
You stand there, a silent witness to my triumph. What will you do, my fellow murderer? Will you join me in this dance of death, or will you turn away, leaving me to my rule?
