Agamemnon Agamemnon

(Agamemnon, Άγαμέμνων). King of Mycenae, brother of Menelaus. He married Clytemnestra, who bore him Iphigenia, Crisofemis, Laodice (among the tragedians Electra) and Orestes. He was the most powerful king in all of Greece. When Paris took Helen away and the Greek kings, at the call of Menelaus, decided to take revenge on the Trojans, Agamemnon was elected leader of the entire army. But still, Agamemnon is not the hero of the Iliad, because he is lower than Achilles in valor and nobility. After the capture of Troy, he got Cassandra, the daughter of Priam, with whom he returned home. Here he is killed by Aegisthus, who, in the absence of Agamemnon, lived with Agamemnon's wife Clytemnestra; Clytemnestra kills Cassandra. Agamemnon's son Orestes subsequently avenges his father's death and kills his mother and Aegisthus.

AGAMEMNON

(Άγαμέμνων), in Greek mythology, the son Atreya and Aerops, leader of the Greek army during the Trojan War. After the assassination of Atreus Aegisthus A. and Menelaus were forced to flee to Aetolia, but the king of Sparta Tyndareus, going on a campaign to Mycenae, forced Fiesta yield power to the sons of Atreus. A. became king in Mycenae (which ancient tradition often identifies with neighboring Argos) and married the daughter of Tyndareus Clytemestre. From this marriage A. had three daughters and a son Orestes. When Paris kidnapped Elena and all her former suitors united in the campaign against Troy, A., as the elder brother of Menelaus and the most powerful of the Greek kings, was elected head of the whole army. The Iliad depicts A. as a valiant warrior (a description of his exploits is given in the 11th book), but does not hide his arrogance and intransigence; it is these properties of A.'s character that are the cause of many disasters for the Greeks. Having once killed a deer on a hunt, A. boasted that Artemis could envy such a shot; the goddess was angry and deprived the Greek fleet of a fair wind. The Greeks could not get out of Aulis for a long time (until A. sacrificed his daughter to the goddess Iphigenia; with this fact, the Greek tradition explains Clytemester's enmity towards her husband) (Apollod. epit. Ill 21 next). Having captured Chryseis during one of the raids on the outskirts of Troy, A. refuses to return her for a large ransom to his father Chris, the priest of Apollo, and God, heeding the pleas of Chris, sends a pestilence to the Greek army. When the true cause of the disaster is revealed and Achilles demands from A. the return of Chryseis to her father, A. takes away his captive Briseida from Achilles, which leads to a long self-elimination of the offended Achilles from the battles and to heavy defeats of the Greeks (Noah. P. I 8-427; IX 9-692). The epic poem "Returns" (7th century BC) and "Oresteia" by Stesichorus, which have not come down to us, narrated about the further fate of A.. After the capture of Troy A., having received huge booty and cassandra, returned to his homeland, where death awaited him in his own house; according to an older version of the myth, he fell during a feast at the hands of Aegisthus, who managed to seduce Clytemestra during A.'s absence (Not. Od. III 248-275; IV 524-537). From the middle of the 6th c. BC e. Clytemestre herself came to the fore: having met A. with hypocritical joy, she then threw a heavy veil over him in the bath and inflicted three mortal blows (Aeschyl. Agam. 855-1576).
The fabulous wealth of A. and his prominent position among the Greek leaders, which are mentioned in the myth, reflect the rise of historical Mycenae in the 14th-12th centuries. BC e. and their dominant role among the early states of the Peloponnese. The surviving ritual epithet "Zeus-Agamemnon" shows that A. was probably originally one of those semi-divine patron heroes of his tribe, whose functions passed to Zeus with the formation of the Olympic pantheon.
in. n. Yarkho.

Of the dramatic works of antiquity dedicated to the murder of A., the tragedies "A." Aeschylus (the first part of the Oresteia trilogy) and Seneca. The plot has been developed in European dramaturgy since the 16th century. (G. Sachs, T. Dekker and others). Interest in myth was awakened again in the second half of the 18th century. (the tragedies "A." by V. Alfieri, L. J. N. Lemercier and others). In the 19th and 20th centuries the plot formed the basis of about 30 tragedies, a dramatic tetralogy by G. Hauptmann (“Iphigenia at Delphi”, “Iphigenia at Aulis”, “Death of A.”, “Electra”).
In ancient fine art, A. is a minor character in multi-figured compositions (metopes on the northern side of the Parthenon, etc.). The murder of A. was embodied in the painting of a number of Greek vases and in the reliefs of several Etruscan funerary urns.
In European musical and dramatic art, the plot of A.'s death formed the basis of the libretto of a number of operas of the 18th and 20th centuries. ("Clytemestre" by N. Picchini; "Clytemestre" by N. Zingarelli; "A." by D. Treves; opera trilogy "Oresteia" by S. I. Taneyev; "Oresteia" by F. Weingartner; "Oresteia" by D. Milhaud; "Clytemester ” by R. Prochazka; “A.” by D. Kuklin; “Clytemester” by I. Pizzetti and others) and cantatas (“Clytemester” by L. Cherubini and others).

Betrayal of Clytemnestra

There are few couples in the world who stand the test of a long separation. And the lot of kings in family life is the same as the lot of mere mortals. Going to the siege of Troy, the Mycenaean king Agamemnon promised his wife Clytemnestra, sister of the beautiful Helen, that as soon as the great Troy was taken, he would give her a sign that their separation was close to completion. The servants would have to kindle fires on the mountain-tops in the good old fashion, so that the news of the fall of Troy would reach his palace as soon as possible, and the wife would be the first to know about it in the distant reaches.

Ten years Agamemnon was absent from home. Every night, one of Clytemnestra's slaves climbed to the roof of the palace and peered into the darkness, trying to see the fire of a distant fire on the mountain top, and then his nightly service would come to an end. But the night vigils of the slave continued for a long time - it was predicted that Troy would fall only in the tenth year of the siege. Just in the tenth year of service, the hopes of the poor slave were finally justified.

But the wife of the king was not happy about the end of the war. While her husband was away, someone named Aegisthus, the king's cousin, began to warm her bed, so well that Clytemnestra decided to commit a crime. The queen was waiting for Agamemnon to kill him and rule Mycenae with her lover.

When Clytemnestra brought the news of the fall of the great Troy, the cunning woman portrayed the jubilation and joy appropriate to the occasion. Her slaves were summoned, and in a solemn procession the queen rushed to offer a thankful sacrifice to the gods. But while the king's wife performed all the prescribed rituals with a cheerful face, scenarios of her husband's murder were spinning in her head. Clytemnestra slyly considered how to deal an insidious blow to her husband so that he would not suspect anything.

Good news and bad news travel fast. After a very short time, the inhabitants of the city and its elders began to gather at the palace, rejoicing at the imminent return of their beloved ruler. Preparations began for the solemn and honorable meeting of Agamemnon, although no one knew exactly when to wait for the king. However, a messenger arrived with the words that the king and his retinue were already close. And in a feigned bustle, she rushed to the palace of Clytemnestra, supposedly to prepare chambers for her long-awaited spouse. In fact, she had a plan, and the traitor was only making the last preparations for its execution.

And so, chariots and warriors appeared in the distance. Agamemnon, crowned with glory, rode at the head of the army, and sad Cassandra sat on a chariot next to him. The unfortunate seer, doomed to the fact that no one listened to her predictions, foresaw the death of Agamemnon and her imminent death - after the capture of Troy, Agamemnon took her as a concubine. But in vain did the beautiful Cassandra try to reason with the king, Agamemnon, like others, did not believe her prophecy. Warriors walked joyfully, decorated with flowers and greenery according to the custom of those times. A crowd of subjects greeted the king with loud jubilant cries. The solemnly dressed Clytemnestra came out to meet Agamemnon and led the king to the path of purple carpets leading to the palace. The king was embarrassed, because the purple color in those days was the color of the gods, and began to refuse to step on the carpets. But Clytemnestra persuaded her husband to accept the honour, and he, taking off his sandals, walked across the carpet into the palace. Clytemnestra trotted along nearby, pouring poison into the ears of the king, delighting the ears, about how long she had suffered without him, and how faithfully she had been waiting for her beloved all the years of separation. Suddenly, at the entrance to the palace, to the great amazement of everyone who was nearby, she stopped and exclaimed:

Zeus! Zeus! Fulfill my prayer! Help me accomplish what I have in mind!

And quickly moved on. The couple entered the palace, leaving behind the painful and bewildered silence of those who met them. Suspecting nothing, Agamemnon went to wash off the road dust. When, after bathing, the king left the bathroom, Clytemnestra threw a wide, long veil over him. And ruthlessly cut down her own husband with an ax, three terrible blows, while he was helpless. Intoxicated by her own atrocity, the queen went out to the people in clothes stained with blood, not even bothering to change them. Aegisthus followed her, dressed in royal clothes, holding in his hands a rod, a symbol of royal power. The enraged crowd wanted to tear the usurper to pieces. But the power of the queen, who ruled the city during the years of Agamemnon's absence, was strong, and Clytemnestra was able to keep the crowd from being lynched.

Gradually the crowd subsided, people dispersed, and the impostors remained to rule Mycenae. That night, the unfortunate Cassandra, a prophetess, whose gift did not help people, died at the hands of Clytemnestra. Some people loyal to Agamemnon were forced to flee the city to save their lives. The triumphant pair of villains - Clytemnestra and Aegisthus - rejoiced at impunity and good luck, but fate had already prepared for them retribution for the insidious atrocity.

Agamemnon (Αγαμέμνονας) was born into a royal family, he was the son of King Mycenae, Atreas (Ατρέας) and Aerope (Αερόπη), who was the daughter of King Minos.

The reign of Agamemnon's father was accompanied by intrigues and a struggle for the throne with his brother Fiesta. The struggle was very fierce and soon the reign passed into the hands of Fiesta.

When Agamemnon grew up, he, along with his brother Menelaus, left Mycenae. The brothers fled to Sparta, where they married the daughters of King Tyndareus (Τυνδάρεου): Agamemnon - Clytemnestra, and Menelaus the beautiful Elena.

In the family of Agamemnon, three daughters and one son were born: Chrysothemis, Iphigenia and Electra, the son was named Orestes.
Over time, Agamemnon managed to expel the hated uncle Fiesta from Mycenae and reign himself, while Menelaus became the king of Sparta.
Later, when Paris stole the beautiful Helen from Sparta, Menelaus turned to his brother for help, to lead the Achaean army and return the wealth stolen by the Trojans and his wife Helen.

Trojan War

Soon, the Greeks, with the leader Agamemnon, equipped a campaign against Troy. The troops gathered in Aulis there, while hunting, Agamemnon accidentally killed a sacred deer that belonged to the goddess Artemis. The goddess was angry and ordered not to blow a fair wind. So the fleet could not start moving from the port, because the ships were with sails. Agamemnon went to the oracle to find out what he should do. Calchas (Κάλχα) - the soothsayer, to whom Agamemnon turned, advised him to bring a sacrifice to the temple of Artemis, his daughter Iphigenia: "Only then will a favorable wind blow and the fleet will be able to sail to the shores of Troy." The unfortunate father did just that, for which he later paid a heavy price.

When, finally, the Achaeans reached the shores of Troy, they were met by an army led by the eldest son of the king of the Trojan army, Hector. Priam (Πρίαμος), the king of Troy, was already old and could not take part in the battles.

During the nine-year siege of Troy, Agamemnon led the army of the Achaeans. Once between the main characters of the Greek army Agamemnon and Achilles, there was a major quarrel. Agamemnon decided to take away from the bravest hero of the war, his concubine Briseida, who became Achilles' mistress, after which he refused to participate in the battles. This was the reason that both leaders of the current situation, weakened the Greek army. In the end, of course, they reconciled.

In the tenth year of the war, Troy fell, although it was not without the tricks of the Greeks. Pretending that the army was retreating and returning back to Greece, a huge horse was left as a gift to the Trojans, in which the best warriors of the Greeks hid. Joyful with the retreat of the Greeks, the warriors of Troy brought a horse to the city from which the Greeks got out at night, opened the gates for their troops and captured Troy.

With victory, Agamemnon returned to Mycenae, bringing with him gifts and the slave Cassandra, daughter of King Πρiam. There he found his death at the hands of his wife and cousin.

Clytemnestra (Κλυταιμήστρα)

For some time after Agamemnon left for the war, Clytemnestra remained faithful to her husband. In addition, Agamemnon left the court singer and poet Dimodok (Δημόδοκος) to look after her.

After some time, next to Clytemnestra, more and more often they began to notice Aegistus (Αϊγισθος), the son of that very hated uncle Fiesta, who from childhood harbored hatred for his cousin, Agamemnon. Aegisthus immediately guessed about the role of Dimodok and, with the help of Clytemnestra, exiled him to a desert island, where he lost his sight.

After that, lovers could safely meet in the palace. Clytemnestra felt no remorse, because she had not loved her husband for a long time. Not only did he forcefully marry her, but after he sacrificed their daughter, Clytemnestra could not forgive this.

And then there was a rumor that Troy had fallen and the army was returning home and that Agamemnon was carrying the beautiful Cassandra (Priam's daughter), which angered Clytemnestra even more.

The murder of Agamemnon

The murder of Agamemnon was organized and carried out by Clytemnestra, while the spineless and cowardly Aegisthus boasted that it was he who came up with the plan of massacre.

When the army of Agamemnon entered Mycenae, a joyful Clytemnestra ran out to meet her and warmly hugged her husband, while saying that a big feast was being prepared and everyone was invited to the Palace.

She told Agamemnon that a ready-made bath with incense was waiting for him. After taking a bath, Clytemnestra brought him a thick robe, which pulled his hands together and stabbed him several times.

Later, the son Orestes, with the help of Electra, avenged the death of his father.

historical prototype

Hittite sources mention a ruler named Akagamunas (Hitt. Akagamunaš), who ruled the country of Ahhiyawa (Hitt. Ahhiyawa, lit. "land of the Achaeans") in the 14th century BC. e .. This ruler is a likely historical prototype of Agamemnon.

early years

Atreus, the father of Agamemnon, killed the children of his twin brother Tiestes and fed their bodies to him after learning that Aeropa had cheated on him with Tiestes. The daughter of Tiesta, Pelopia, gave birth to Aegisthus, who killed Atreus and seized the Mycenaean throne with his father. Agamemnon and his brother Menelaus were forced to flee to Sparta, where they married the daughters of Tyndareus. Married to Clemnestra, Agamemnon had four children: son Orestes and daughters Iphigenia, Electra and Chrysothemis. Agamemnon, who was assisted by his brother, expelled Aegisthus and Tiesta from Mycenae, and then increased their possessions in battles with neighbors, becoming the greatest of the Greek rulers.

Trojan War

During the Trojan War, Agamemnon was in command of the entire army. Those who decided to march against Ilion conferred at Ellenion in Sparta. According to another version, they conferred in Aegion (Achaia), which is why the statue of Zeus Gomagyria stands there. Those who went on a campaign to Ilion swore not to stop the war at the statue of Zeus Mekhanei in Argos. Before the war, Agamemnon visited the oracle at Delphi. The copper threshold of the tent of Agamemnon was shown in Aulis. He accidentally killed the doe of Artemis and was forced to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia, but she was saved at the last moment by Artemis.

Brought 100 ships under Troy. He erected an altar to 12 gods on the island of Lekt, as well as the sanctuary of the king at Lake Selinusia (Ionia). The Iliad killed 11 Trojans. Killed Iphidamant and Glaucus. Killed 16 warriors in total. funeral games for Achilles participated in the competition of equestrians.

Because of the beautiful captive Briseis, he had a strife with Achilles. Evil fate pursued his entire family, starting with the ancestor Tantalus and ending with Agamemnon himself and his children - Iphigenia and Orestes.

Return and death

Return of Agamemnon Death of Agamemnon

According to a later version, returning from Troy, he visited Iphigenia in Tauris. Either along the way he founded Mycenae, Tegea and Pergamon in Crete. He built the temple of Athena at Cape Onugnafon in Laconia.

Upon returning to his homeland with Cassandra, one of the daughters of Priam, taken as booty, he died at the hands of Aegisthus (according to Homer) - or his wife - according to other sources (tragedy). Cassandra suffered the same fate. Those who returned with him from Ilion were killed by Aegisthus at a feast, their graves, like those of Agamemnon, at Mycenae. Also a grave monument in Amikla.

Odysseus meets him in Hades. After death, his soul chose the life of an eagle.

He was revered in Klazomeni. Sparta revered Zeus-Agamemnon. According to Stesichorus and Simonides, his palace was in Sparta.

Courage, nobility and royal grandeur distinguished, according to Homer, this husband. Sad fate and his fatal end in particular were a favorite theme of ancient tragedies. His burial place is called Mycenae and Amikles. Sparta Agamemnon was given divine honors. Chaeronee was kept as a shrine, his scepter, the work of Hephaestus. Images of Agamemnon are often found in monuments of art, but only very rarely in the foreground. "Agamemnon" was called Gnaeus Pompey.
