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.
