He was brother of Menelaus (hence brother-in-law of Helen), and commander-in-chief of the Greek army against Troy. He was a brutal man, vindictive and cruel by nature. He had great courage, but he was rather irresolute and insolent. In order to appease Artemis and gain a favorable wind for his fleet, he sacrificed his eldest daughter Iphigenia. In the sack of Troy, he permitted his men to desecrate the shrines of the gods, and let them carry off Apollo's priestess Cassandra as a concubine of his. It was due to such things that he had a hard time coming back home and was finally murdered by his wife Clytemnestra and her paramour Aegisthus.
