Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n House of Odysseus is the follow up to award-winning author Claire North’s Ithaca ‘a powerful, fresh, and unflinching’ reimagining (Jennifer Saint) that breathes life into ancient myth and gives voice to the women who stand defiant in a world ruled by ruthless men.<\/p>\n In the palace of Odysseus, a queen lies dreaming . . .<\/p>\n On the isle of Ithaca, queen Penelope maintains a delicate balance of power. Many years ago, her husband Odysseus sailed to war with Troy and never came home. In his absence, Penelope uses all her cunning to keep the peace\u2014a peace that is shattered by the return of Orestes, King of Mycenae, and his sister Elektra.<\/p>\n Orestes’ hands are stained with his mother’s blood. Not so long ago, the son of Agamemnon took Queen Clytemnestra’s life on Ithaca’s sands. Now, wracked with guilt, he grows ever more unhinged. But a king cannot be seen to be weak, and Elektra has brought him to Ithaca to keep him safe from the ambitious men of Mycenae.<\/p>\n Penelope knows destruction will follow in his wake as surely as the furies circle him. His uncle Menelaus, the blood-soaked king of Sparta, hungers for Orestes’ throne\u2014and if he can seize it, no one will be safe from his violent whims.<\/p>\n Trapped between two mad kings, Penelope must find a way to keep her home from being crushed by the machinations of a battle that stretches from Mycenae and Sparta to the summit of Mount Olympus itself. Her only allies are Elektra, desperate to protect her brother, and Helen of Troy, Menelaus’ wife. And watching over them all is the goddess Aphrodite, who has plans of her own.<\/p>\n Each woman has a secret, and their secrets will shape the world . . .. First published August 22, 2023.
