	Clytaemnestra, Greek Mythology Link.
		This is the reason why Clytaemnestra and her daughter Iphigenia came from Mycenae, and appeared very happy at Aulis, believing in their simple minds that their husband and father had arranged a wedding for his daughter.
		Agamemnon's arrival was known beforehand by Clytaemnestra and her lover; for a succession of beacon-fires had been arranged to flash the news from Troy, so that they should know when the city was captured, and the king was about to return.
		Clytaemnestra then, fearing the hatred that such a deed would arouse, intervened in favour of her daughter, and Aegisthus conceived instead the idea of marrying Electra 2 to an insignificant man. For, he reasoned, a nobody would not go stirring up old blood, asking that the debt for Agamemnon's death should be paid.

	Agamemnon Summary by Aeschylus
		Clytaemnestra has murdered the king, and she makes this very clear to the Chorus, that it was "the work of this right hand" which stabbed him.
		Clytaemnestra is not humbled by the Chorus' words and becomes defensive, reminding these men that they did absolutely nothing at all to help her daughter Iphigenia when Agamemnon sacrificed her to the goddess Artemis.
		Clytaemnestra counters again for the Chorus not to blame the entire Trojan War on Helen alone, defending this woman who is in fact her sister.

	The Eumenides Summary by Aeschylus
		Clytaemnestra killed her husband out of grief because he had sacrificed their eldest daughter, Iphigenia, to the goddess Artemis in order that she would send wind so that the Greek fleet could sail off to fight at Troy.
		Clytaemnestra's anger was increased after discovering that Agamemnon had sex with the captured Trojan, Cassandra, although she was unfaithful herself in her husband's absence, for her lover Aegisthus helped her to plot the murder.
		Clytaemnestra wants death for her son, in order that her death be avenged, just as Agamemnon's death was avenged by the murder of Clytaemnestra.

		Clytaemnestra's power is also hinted at when she is cons istently referred to as the daughter of Leda, both by the Chorus (Agamemnon, 93), and by Agamemnon (Agamemnon, 908).
		By continually referring to Clytaemnestra's matrilineal lineage, Clytaemnestra is given the power that is usually reserved exclusively to men with their patrimonial lineage.} \par {\ulnone \tab Just as Clytaemnestra is treated and acts like a man, Agamemnon is treated like a woman by Clytaemnestra.

		However, Clytaemnestra, while still being a virgin, had already been given in marriage to Tantalus 3, son of Thyestes 1 or of Broteas 4, and was mother of a child.
		But Clytaemnestra was never to forgive the loss of her daughter, and many years later, after having killed her husband, she remembered the crime that justified her own:

	Compare the portrayal of Clytaemnestra in both Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Euripides’ Electra. Which portrayal ...
		The fact that Clytaemnestra is the main protagonist in Agamemnon allows us to examine her character to a far greater extent, enabling us to see how obsessed she has become with the idea of vengeance, and the murder of her husband: 'His death the work of my right hand, whose craftsmanship Justice acknowledges'.
		In Electra, the character of Clytaemnestra is not given as much time to develop, and we have to make assumptions on her based on the short dialogue between her and Electra.
		In Agamemnon, we are aware that Clytaemnestra takes great pride in her ability to rule over her people as well as a man, and admonishes the Chorus by saying 'You speak as to some thoughtless woman: you are wrong'.

		Clytaemnestra is a domineering woman who is married to Agamemnon and also has a lover, something that is unusual for women but popular with the men of that time.
		And Clytaemnestra has every right to be upset, not just because of her husband taking a second wife, but because Agamemnon had also sacrificed their daughter, Iphigenia, to the gods in the hopes of having a strong gale bring him and his troops home in one piece.
		Clytaemnestra literally acts as ruler in Agamemnon’s absence, and maybe she enjoyed that quite a bit – to the point that she wanted such power for an extended period of time.
