If he did it to indeed help his brother or because Troy was so rich and he wanted the spoils as well as the fame, we'll also never know for sure. She is also proficient with the katana, sansetsukon (three-sectioned staff), and other martial arts weapons. [83] Notes The character is a highly trained assassin of Greek descent who wields a pair of sai as her trademark weapons. Elektra is one of Frank Miller's best-known creations, and has appeared in numerous modern storylines even though Marvel had originally promised not to revive the character without Miller's permission.

The book is profoundly moving, and full of beautiful touches which made the story feel fresh and immediate without losing any of the magic of the classical setting. I will be pressing this book on everyone I know.Elektra appears in the Marvel Comics Super Heroes collection of commemorative postage-stamps. [112] Clitennestra (sempre lei) mostra preoccupazione per il fato delle schiave e per il benessere di Briseide. Sì, avete letto bene.
