Agamemnon

Agamemnon was the son of the King Atreus, who got dethroned and murdered by his brother, Aegisthus. During this period, Agamemnon and his brother Menelaus were taking refuge with Tyndareus, king of Sparta. Agamemnon wanted Tyndareus’ daughter Clytemnestra for his wife and therefore killed her first husband and child. He then married Clytemnestra and Menelaus married Clytemnestra’s half sister, Helen.
