Reading for the 2nd time

“If I could use every skill I learned from the back-alley criminals, I would have.
How dare he speak of her. How dare he speak of lost children when he made a choice to lose his, when I would have taken my own life a thousand times over to save her.
I would've undertaken ask his labors without blinking for even a chance of saving mine, when he did them to forget his.”

“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.”

“But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.”

“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.”

“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.”
