	Agamemnon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agamemnon's father Atreus was murdered by Aegisthus, who took possession of the throne of Mycenae and ruled jointly with his father Thyestes.
		Agamemnon was the commander-in-chief of the Greeks during the Trojan War.
		Agamemnon is also said to have been the ancient ancestor or relative of the noble family the Atreides of the classic science fiction series Dune by Frank Herbert (Note that the surname, Atreides is derived from Agamemnon's father's name, Atreus).

	The Oresteia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Furthermore, in the ten years of Agamemnon's absence, Clytemnestra has entered into an adulterous relationship with Aegisthus, Agamemnon's cousin and the scion of a dispossessed branch of the family, who is determined to regain the throne he believes should rightfully belong to him.
		Eventually, for reasons that are still heavily debated, Clytemnestra does convince Agamemnon to enter the oikos, where she kills him in the bath: she ensnares him in a robe and as he struggles to free himself she hacks him with three strokes of a pelekus.
		Agamemnon is murdered in much the same way as an animal killed for sacrifice with three blows, the last strike accompanied by a prayer to a god.

	Agamemnon, Greek Mythology Link.
		Agamemnon was king of Mycenae and commander in chief of the coalition that attacked Troy [for other leaders of the coalition see ACHAEAN LEADERS].
		Artemis was assumed to be angry at Agamemnon because he had said, on shooting a deer, that the goddess herself could not have done it better, and also because Agamemnon's father Atreus had not sacrificed to her a certain golden lamb [see Pelopides].
		The conflict with Achilles put Agamemnon at odds with heaven, for the former was the son of a goddess, and she obtained of Zeus the promise to teach Agamemnon and the Achaeans a lesson for the outrage her sweet son had suffered, by letting them, if only for a while, be routed by the Trojans.

	Agamemnon Study Guide / Agamemnon Summary
		She is the wife of Menelaus, but she was kidnapped by a Trojan guest named Paris; Menelaus asked his brother Agamemnon to help him to gather an army of Greeks from all of the different city-states in the land in order to go to Troy and kidnap Helen.
		Agamemnon's wife Clytaemnestra was outraged that he violated their family by killing his own daughter.
		The loss of Agamemnon's manliness and the mere thought of being disloyal to his army is the deciding factor; he murders his own daughter so that the army can sail off to Troy, his pride as a general intact, although his role as a good father is destroyed.

	Agamemnon
		Agamemnon is a tragedy that was first performed in Athens, Greece, in 458 B.C., along with two other plays: The Libation Bearers (also called Choephori, Choëphoroe, and Choephoroi in English transliterations from Greek) and The Eumenides.
		Agamemnon inherited the sin of his father, Atreus, in the form of a curse pronounced on Agamemnon by his brother, Thyestes.
		The purple carpet therefore appears to symbolize (1) the pride, or hubris, that afflicts Agamemnon as conqueror of Troy and King of Argos; (2) the wrath of Clytemnestra; and (3) the bloody death that awaits Agamemnon.

		King Agamemnon, brother of Menelaus, both sons of Atrides, is the leader of the Argive forces because he controlled the most troops commanded by any other individual Achaean leader.

		One of the first men they rouse from sleep is King Nestor of Pylos, whom immediately delves into ripping Menelaus for assuming he is sleeping and not involved in these toils of war, the war being fought metaphorically at least, for him.

	In the Beginning was the Word ~ Agamemnon
		These ideas of motherless progeny (male parthenogenesis), the death of the mother and the sacrifice of the "devalued female" are reminiscent of The Oresteia of Aeschylus and a most striking manifestation of the Crimson King, Agamemnon, the last of the unfortunates in the house of Pelops.
		"As Agamemnon, king of Argos, and his army were ready to sail and fight against Troy, the diviners of the Oracle at Delphi decreed that to get a favorable breeze for sailing, Agamemnon's young daughter, Iphigeneia, had to be offered in sacrifice.
		So one can say: Agamemnon was persuaded by his wife to indulge in conspicuous consumption, which for the Greeks was hubris, a deadly sin.
