 Orestes 2, Greek Mythology Link.
Orestes 2, along with Pylades, was made prisoner in Tauris, but after being recognized by his sister Iphigenia, who acted as a priestess, he fled with her back to Hellas.
Orestes 2 and Pylades carried out the plan, killing Aegisthus while he was sacrificing to the NYMPHS; and the royal guard, which was there for Aegisthus' safety, having recognized the son of Agamemnon, did not intervene but instead applauded the usurper's murderer.
Disguised then as Phocian messengers, Orestes 2 and Pylades came into the palace carrying the urn with the ashes, and having met Electra 2, they went to where Clytaemnestra was, and Orestes 2 slew her.

Tantalus was the great-grandfather of Agamemnon, and the first great sinner of the family, with his son Pelops (who killed Myrtilos) the second.
