Who killed Agamemnon?
Aegisthus and Clytemnestra both played a part in Agamemnon's death, however there are two versions of who physically killed Agamemnon. In book 3 of The Odyssey, it was Aegisthus who plotted and killed Agamemnon. In Aeschylus' tragedy Agamemnon, Aeschylus changed the killer to Clytemnestra. The murder was avenged by the son Orestes. The Odyssey simply mentioned that Orestes avenged Agamemnon's death by killing both Aegisthus and Clytemnestra. In Libation Bearers, Aeschylus developed a complete plot and went into details why and how Orestes accomplished his matricide. Killing one's parents is against nature in Greek mythological tradition, thus Orestes was tried in an Athenian court by an Athenian jury with Apollo as his defense lawyer, and Athena as the presiding judge. The jury was deadlocked and Athena casted the deciding vote. You may want to read The Eumenides, the last of The Oresteiatrilogy by Aeschylus to find out whether Orestes was found guilty or not!
