“What will you tell them?'
'I will tell them nothing.' The answer came with no hesitation, clear and crisp.
'It is not for them to say what I will do.”
― The Song of Achilles

“At least you are not dead," Clytemnestra says.
Neither Tyndareus nor any other Spartan would agree that a life with shame is better than a glorious death, but Clytemnestra doesn't care.
She would rather live. Glory is something she can earn later.”

“So Leda's daughters,
two lethal brides,
will twice and thrice wed.
One will launch Greece in a thousand ships,
her beauty the ruin of her land,
and the men sent to rescue her
will come back ashes and bones.
The other, the queen hell-bent on revenge,
will rise in the house of Mycenae,
loyal to those who revere her,
savage to those who oppose her.”

“Loving people. That's a fucking flaw if you want to be a hero. Being willing to give your life for someone is all well and good but it means sooner or later you'll give your life for someone and that'll be the end of the story. Heroes can't afford for that to happen.”

“Clytemnestra dances with her eyes closed, her strong legs following the rhythm.
Helen's movements mirror her sister's but are more composed and graceful, as if she were afraid of losing herself.
Her feet light and precise, her arms like wings, she looks ready to take flight and soar high, away from the other's eyes. But she can't rise, so she keeps dancing, relentless.
Clytemnestra dances for herself; Helen dances for others.”
