Agamemnon was the king of Mycenae Father-King Aterus of Mycenae Mother-Queen Aerope Born in 525 B.C B.C Greek He married Clytemnestra and had several children by her, including Orestes, Electra, and Iphigenia.

He was the leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War, He is one of the central figures in the Iliad, Homer's epic poem about the war.

Agamamnon was the Commander in Chief of the coalition that attacked Troy during the Trojan War.

Anthenaeus tells the story of how Agamemnon mourned the loss of his friend, Argynnus, when he drowned in the Cephisus River. Agamemnon honored his friend with a tomb and shrine to Aphrodite Argynnis.

While Agamemnon was fighting the Trojans, his wife was plotting to kill him in revenge for the sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia Agamemnon was warned by Cassandra, who had the power to tell the future, that his wife would kill him, but he did not believe it. His wife, Clytemnestra, welcomed him home with a bath to purify himself. When she wrapped him in a garment after his bath, he could not move his arms. Her lover, Aegisthus, stabbed Agamemnon and Clytemnestra killed Cassandra. Agamemnon’s son, Orestes, eventually avenged the murder by killing both Clytemnestra and Aegisthus with the help of his sister, Electra.
