The first three books from the series of six, namely, Antiope, phigeneia, Helen, Cassandra, Penthesilea ve Electra, have been published so far.

Suicide was a widespread occurrence in antiquity . There were many different forms used and many different reasons for committing suicide .

Instead of condemning the person and looking down on their families, sympathy became the response. The act was eventually decriminalized the successful suicide could now be buried and his family was no longer disinherited the unsuccessful suicide was spared execution . ref name freedman However, with these advantages came some disadvantages as well.
