The movie "Troy" removed the role of Cassandra, one of the children of Priam and Hecuba of Troy. Cassandra had been gifted with prophecy, but cursed with the inability to make others believe her prophecies. Agamemnon took her as a war prize and concubine, and returned with her to Greece to his wife Clytemnestra. Clytemnestra was jealous, and still angry with Agamemnon for having killed their daughter Iphigenia at Aulis, so she (or her lover, Aegisthus, Agamemnon's cousin), killed Agamemnon and Cassandra. The son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Orestes, revenged his father's death by killing Clytemnestra.
Clytemnestra was married to Agamemnon.

Clytemnestra was killed by her son, Orestes. This is because it was a son's duty to kill his father's killers, and Clytemnestra had helped to kill her husband, Agamemnon.
Clytemnestra is sometimes said to have married Tantalus before Agamemnon, and that Agamemnon forcibly made her his wife after killing her infant child and Tantalus, Agamemnon further sacrificed Iphigenia, their daughter, to Artemis before setting off to Troy. Revenge would thus be a good motivation. Orestes and Electra later avenged their father by killing their mother Clytemnestra and their step father, Aeschylus.
