• Cassandra and Agamemnon.
•     Aeschylus's Agamemnon tells the story of the Greek hero Agamemnon's fateful return home to Myceneae, where his wife Clytaemnestra waits to kill him. ...
•     The tragedy begins with Clytaemnestra awaiting Agamemnon's return from Troy, her secret lover and accomplice Aegisthus waiting for her instructions in the palace. Clytaemnestra has perfectly legitimate reasons for despising Agamemnon; he killed her former husband, Tantalus, and her baby, he married her by force, he ordered the sacrifice of their daughter Iphigeneia in order to calm the winds when the Greeks prepared to set sail for Troy, and he left her alone, sailing away to a war which lasted ten years. (Euripides Iphigeneia in Aulis 1148, Sophocles Electra 531) Plus, Clytaemnestra hears that Agamemnon is bringing back with him a concubine who was said to be a prophetess. There is even information leading to the notion that Cassandra bore Agamemnon twin sons, named Teledamus and Pelops. ...
•     When Agamemnon and Cassandra arrive, Clytaemnestra greets them warmly and tries to comfort her in her misery of slavery. ... When Agamemnon follows his wife inside the palace, Cassandra remains outside, caught in a trance, refusing to enter the palace. ...
• Meanwhile, Clytaemnestra beheads Agamemnon with an axe, and chases Cassandra to kill her with the same weapon. (Electra 99, 445-6, Agamemnon 1372, 1535) Cassandra's head rolls to the ground, and Aegisthus is said to have killed her twin sons by Agamemnon. As to where the bodies of Agamemnon and Cassandra are buried, the Spartans claim that Agamemnon is buried at Amyclae, where the tomb and statue of Clytaemnestra and the sanctuary and statue of Cassandra are found. Another story tells how Agamemnon's tomb stands among the ruins of Myceneae, close to those of his charioteer, his comrades murdered with him by Aegisthus, and of Cassandra's twins. ...

• Agamemnon.
• Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, had a hard row to hoe. ... Agamemnon's father Atreus killed his own nieces and nephews and served them up to his brother Thyestes in a pie. ... Agamemnon's brother was Menelaus, king of Sparta, and husband of Helen the fair. ... In addition, Agamemnon was obliged as greatest of the kings to avenge this blow to Greek honor. ... But the proper winds failed to blow , and Agamemnon's prophet Calchas told him that he had offended Artemis and she demanded appeasement by the sacrifice of Agamemnon's own daughter Iphigeneia. So there was Agamemnon, between a rock and a hard place. ... He went ahead with the sacrifice and the Greeks went on to Troy, where for Agamemnon it was one damned thing after another: plague and pestilence, nagging priests, heroes with smelly wounds, uncooperative Trojans, problems over concubines, and a sulking Achilles who threatened to take his marbles and go home. Meanwhile, back at Mycenae, Aegisthus seduced Clytemnestra and took Agamemnon's place as king. But it was Clytemnestra who really wore the tunic around the palace, for when Agamemnon returned from Troy with a concubine in tow, it was Clytemnestra who butchered him in the bath with a battleaxe, jealous perhaps about the concubine, but more important by far, still seething with resentment that he had countenanced the death of their daughter Iphigeneia. Not long afterward Orestes, son of Agamemnon, faced a dilemma not unlike the one that faced his father at Aulis: he was honor bound to avenge his death, but could only do so by murdering his mother. ...

Agamemnon reluctantly agreed to the sacrifice, but Artemis herself whisked Iphigenia away from the altar and substituted a deer in her place. ...
• During the seige of Troy, Agamemnon offended the greatest of the Greek warriors, Achilles, when he took the girl Briseis from him. Achilles' anger with Agamemnon furnished the mainspring of the plot in the Iliad. After the sack of Troy, Agamemnon acquired Cassandra, the daughter of King Priam, as his concubine, and took her home with him to Greece. ...
• Agamemnon had an unhappy homecoming. ... In either case, Aegisthus had become the lover of Clytemnestra, and the two together murdered Agamemnon and Cassandra shortly after their arrival. Aegisthus and Clytemnestra then ruled Agamemnon's kingdom, but were eventually killed by Agamemnon's son, Orestes (or by Orestes and Electra in some accounts). The homecoming of Agamemnon and its aftermath were favorite subjects for Greek tragedy. ...
