Agamemnon's arrival was known beforehand by Clytaemnestra and her lover; for a succession of beacon-fires had been arranged to flash the news from Troy, so that they should know when the city was captured, and the king was about to return. So after the fall of Troy, Clytaemnestra kindled altar-fires throughout the city, feigning celebration, and when Agamemnon arrived, he, having walked on dark red tapestries into the palace, was slain either by Clytaemnestra, or by Aegisthus, or by both.
