Something that stuck out to me was how Clytemenestra did not seemed worried after killing her husband. She even came out to the people and bragged about her successful murder. Sure her daughter was dead and no one was left to avenge him except the people and she had them under control. However, there is someone else to avenge Agamemnon's death, his son Orestes. Clytemenestra did send her son off, but what makes her so sure Orestes won't come back? The answer is simple. She had just killed her husband who was a king, so she's high on power and success. In her mind, she feels like no one can take her off her pedestal. Thankfully, that's far from true.
P.S. I commented on Kelli Brown's post.
