Poem: "Klytaimēstra's Kestos"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poem came out of the January 3, 2012 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was inspired by a cluster of prompts from rowyn -- who specified the characters and plot -- plus further details from aldersprig, wyld_dandelyon, and haikujaguar.  It has been sponsored by minor_architect as a gift for rowyn.

I'm using the Old Greek spellings in the poem; the modern versions are Clytemnestra, Agamemnon (that one's the same),

Now this is the sort of thing the Greek WOMEN would have written had they gotten the chance!
:D

I think some of the myths were written by women. In some places you can see where men tried to spackle over that.

One of my poems that appeared in Star*Line was "Pearls Before Swine," about Circe.
