Books

Iphigenia in Aulis by Euripides

In this tragedy, Agamemnon has to decide whether or not to sacrifice Iphigenia. (Um, wouldn't the obvious answer be, "NOOOOOOO!"?)

The Iliad by Homer

Agamemnon is leader of the Greek forces in this definitive poem about the Trojan War. (Agamemnon kicks some butt, but mostly he's kind of a jerk all the way through.)

Agamemnon by Aeschylus

In part one of the Oresteia, Agamemnon makes it home from the war, but gets murdered in a bathtub by Clytemnestra. (A bathtub, huh? Well, all least the cleanup was easy.)
