| Once this revengeful act was done, Aegisthus crowned himself king of Argos with Clytaemnestra as his queen. |
| Agamemnon's son, Orestes, out of vengeance for his father's death, kills Aegisthus. |
| The greater sin is that the city of Argos is now controlled by this tyranny of Aegisthus and Clytaemnestra. |
| Was Menelaus away from Achaean Argos, voyaging elsewhither among mankind, that Aegisthus took heart and killed Agamemnon? |
| Atreus believed this child to be his own, but Aegisthus was in fact the son of Thyestes. |
| But Aegisthus was still uneasy at the thought that the Prince Orestes might return some day to avenge his father. |
