outsold the iliad and the odyssey lbh

women have always gotten the short end of the stick in greek mythology, and while a thousand ships doesn't mean to change their endings, at least they are now given the chance to have their side of the story told. stories like klytemnestra's and penelope's feel especially loud in this context, as their stories are so complicated and they are such complex people, but are reduced to “so-and-so”'s wife to most people. let them be remembered as the vengeful queen and the queen who deserved better!
