Felicia Day gets gloriously angry in Lost Daughter of Sparta, her first graphic novel

Her latest project, The Lost Daughter of Sparta, is new territory: an original fantasy graphic novel built around a virtually unknown character from Greek myth. Philonoe, the sister of Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, and Timandra, is mentioned in passing in one historical source, which mentions an intriguing fate for her, but not the reasons behind it. Day was fascinated with what her author’s note in the book calls a “throwaway line from more than twenty-five hundred years ago.” So she gave Philonoe the story that history and myth never gave her.
