More about Clytemnestra, Agamennon felesége

In Greek mythology, Clytemnestra is the daughter of Tyndareos and Leda, sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon, mother of Iphigeneia, Orestes, Chrysotemis and Elektra. (In Homer, the girls' names are still Iphianassa instead of Iphigeneia, and Laodice instead of Électra.)
Clytemnestra hated her husband when he sacrificed their daughter Iphigeneia for the success of the Trojan War. (Artemis is the moon and the virgin goddess of the hunt, she was angry with Agamemnon for shooting his sacred deer while hunting. Therefore, she deprived the Greek fleet of the wind, so they could not launch an attack on Troy until Agamemnon presented her with a blood sacrifice.) Therefore, with her lover, Together with Aegisthus, she planned the murder of her husband. In vain did he warn Agamemnon, who was returning from the Trojan War Kassandra, who had been taken away as war booty, but he walked into the trap that he had set for Clytemnes and thus met his death. Years later, Orestes avenged his father's death by killing his mother and her accomplice.
