The main story of the house of Atreus is the murder of Agamemnon and his revenge by his son Orestes. This is the theme of Aeschylus trilogy of plays the Oresteia - and if you want to know the story in detail you should probably read or watch these plays.
If you just want a general outline of the story you should read the relevant sub-chapter in Bullfinch' Age of Fable (scroll down the page linked to until you get to Agamemnon, Orestes, Electra.
You could also Google Atreus and Thyestes for the backstory of the main action - it depends how much detail you want.
