Agamemnon


Agamemnon was the son of Atreus, king of the city of Mycenae, and Menelaus’ brother (king of Sparta and married with Helen of Troy). He commanded the Greeks in the conflict that pitted them against the Trojan king Priam.

Agamemnon era filho de Atreu, rei da cidade de Micenas, e irmão de Menelau, rei de Esparta e marido de Helena de Tróia. Comandou os Gregos no conflito que os opôs aos troianos do rei Príamo.
