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!

Why did Clytemnestra kill her husband?
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.
