Absalom, Absalom!, 48 (Event)

Mr. Compson interrupts his narrative to explain to Quentin how Sutpen got and named his children, including - cryptically - "the one before Clytie and Henry and Judith" (48). Compson's attitude toward Sutpen including two women for breeding purposes in his original set of slaves, and fathering a child on one of them himself, is complacent, but he does call attention to Clytemnestra's classical name.
