House of Names is a "realistic" recreation of the myths told in The Orestia by Aeschylus, with each chapter broken into either the perspectives of Electra, Orestes, or their mother Clytemnestra. For this upcoming blog I'd like to focus on the way the book undresses the pomp and pageantry of myth, laying the reality of nation building myths bare.
