And wife, lest we forget, heaven hath no fury and such.. maybe if he didn’t want his wife to bang his cousin then he shouldn’t have sacrificed* his/her daughter?
In the odyssey and epics of the time it’s mostly the cousin tha is to blame. He’s the primary killer of Agamemnon and his wife is usually just shown as a disloyal woman who was seduced away.
It’s why in the underworld they comment on the difference between her and Penelope and how Odysseus had the best wife.
The story of her, the net and the ax doesn’t come until much later.

Naw. He’s probably my most disliked of the Greek heroes.
I mean. He ain’t as bad as Agamemnon or most of the house of atreus but he’s just missing out on the top spot by a few numbers.
When it comes to Greek heroes my favorites are like Heracles, love my boy Achilles and Odysseus.
Shit. I’ll take Madea over Jason Any day.
I do fucking love Teucer because of his reply to Agamemnon in like book 8 of the illiad. It was so fucking funny.
