The king of Mycenae, Agamemnon shares supreme command of the Greek troops with his brother, Menelaus. An epithet of his, 'king of heroes,' reflects this status. As a commander, however, he often lacks good public relations skills, as shown by his feud with Achilles and by his ill-considered strategy of suggesting that all the troops go home. Upon his return home, Agamemnon is murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus.
