Katharine Beutner’s first novel, Alcestis, takes a minor character from Greek mythology and expands her story in ways that complicate her traditional representation as an ideal “good wife” who sacrifices herself in order to save her beloved husband. Published in 2010, the novel is divided into two parts.
