In Greek mythology Clytemnestra was the unfaithful wife of Agamemnon, the commander of the Greek army that fought in the Trojan War. In his absence Clytemnestra became the lover of Aegisthus, and the pair murdered Agamemnon on his return to Greece. Clytemnestra was later killed by her son, Orestes, with the help of her daughter Electra, in revenge for Agamemnon’s murder.
