Exploring Female Perspectives in The Iliad

When you read The Iliad and The Odyssey, very little time is spent in the perspective of the women.

Right? It's told from a very masculine side of things, but this film takes time to really consider things from the female perspective.

And so we see in Helen and Clytemnestra how this war has affected them both,

and they respond to it very differently because their experience of it is very different.

And so for me that was very enriching to take the time to kind of like humanize them and consider

what this time could have looked like for them.
