Agamemnon was a High King of Mycenae and commander of the Greek expeditionary force attacking Troy during the Trojan War. He sacrificed his daughter Iphigeneia to overcome contrary winds to sail to Troy. His dispute with Achilles over the concubine Briseis is central to the Iliad. On his return after the war, his wife Clytemnestra killed him to revenge Iphigenia.
