Legendary Warrior: The Untold Story of Agamemnon

Agamemnon was the son of Atreus, or perhaps grandson; in which case, his father was Pleistines. His mother was Arope from Crete, which provided a handy link between the Mycenaean civilization of the Greek Peloponnese and the earlier Minoan civilization of Bronze Age Crete. He was married to Clytemnestra, with whom he had three daughters. In one version, these are Chrysothemis, Laodice, and Iphianassa, while in other later versions, they are Chrysothemis, Electra, and Iphigenia.
