CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources referred to: Aeschylys's Oresteia, Sophocles' Electra, Euripides' Orestes and Electra (ie, all the stories of the death of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra); Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis. For episodes covering Clytemnestra's story, refer to those on the Oresteia primarily, plus some early Trojan War and Atreidae Curse.
