"Clytemnestra, the formidable queen of Mycenae, is infamous for her role in the brutal murder of her husband, Agamemnon, upon his return from the Trojan War. Motivated by a potent mix of vengeance for the sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia, and her illicit love affair with Aegisthus, her actions precipitated a tragic cycle of retribution. Her story, one of love turned to bitterness and revenge, continues to be a dark but compelling chapter in Greek history."
