The novel retells the story of the House of Atreus, focusing on the family of King Agamemnon, who sacrifices his daughter, Iphigenia, to gain favorable winds for his fleet to sail to Troy. This act sets off a cycle of vengeance, betrayal, and tragedy within his family. Critics praised House of Names for its innovative retelling of the myth and its ability to make ancient characters relatable to contemporary readers.
