When the Spartan princess Clytemnestra first saw the exiled Mycenaean prince Agamemnon in the palace hall, she was immediately moved by this forbearing, silent and ambitious young man.

On that bloody evening, Clytemnestra swore a poisonous oath: She would make this man pay the same price with her own hands...
