The wife of Atreus who was seduced by her brother-in-law, Thyestes.
When Atreus found out about this betrayal he banished Thyestes and according to the tragic poet, Aeskhylus (Aeschylus), Atreus killed all but one of Thyestes’ children and fed them to him at a feast.
The only surviving child, Aigisthos (Aegisthus), was instrumental in the murder of Atreus’ son, Agamemnon.
As a form of justice, Agamemnon’s son, Orestes, murdered Aigisthos.
