In a new novel, the outstanding Irish writer Colm Toibin turned to antiquity: the basis of "House of Names" is the plot of the most perfect creation of the ancient Greek tragic poet Aeschylus - the "Oresteia" trilogy. This is the story of Clytemnestra - amazingly brave, cruel, vengeful, sensual and painfully attractive - and her children, told by them themselves. The ancient world abandoned by the gods opens before the reader, and this forces the heroes to look for an explanation of their own crimes, passions and doubts only in themselves.
