A. You keep misspelling “Clytemnestra.”

B. Agamemnon asked for it.

I wish I could say it was just a grey moment, but really it's more like selective dyslexia.

I read it that way as a child and remembered it that way: and even when I Googled her name to double check on what her husband's name was, while working on this piece, I stored the name in my mind without the "t".

Kind of like the time in college I misread a traffic sign as "Hideous Entrance."

Thanks for the gentle reminder.

B. Agamemnon asked for it.

For her having a counter-affair, or for his death...?

(Think of Bill Clinton, or for that matter Newt Gingrich.)

Cheers!
