Tomb of Aegisthus

This tomb is named after Agamemnon's wife's lover, Aegisthus . Agamemnon was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus (or Aegisthus) after he returned from the Trojan War. According to the myth, this happened in the bath, where he was vulnerable and unarmed. Before you side with Clytemnestra, a little background.

Clytemnestra's love had sunk below zero when she knew that Agamemnon had sacrificed their daughter Iphigeneia to the goddess Artemis . He found it necessary to appease Artemis to let the Greek fleet leave for Troy.

Spicy detail: Aegisthus was Agamemnon's cousin, and therefore lover of Clytemnestra

But that was not the end. The murder led to a bloody act of revenge by Agamemnon's children Orestes and Electra , who later killed Clytemnestra and Aegisthus .
