Sparta followed the old ways...If the king and queen had a daughter the oldest daughter became the Queen even if they had boys...The oldest yes was Clytemnestra but she had choosen King Agamemnon as her husband and since he was King of Mycenae and didn't want to give up his reign,the next oldest daughter had the right to the throne which was Helen.
