Orestes
Mortal man
In Greek mythology, Orestes or Orestis (; Ancient Greek: Ὀρέστης [oréstɛːs]) was the son of Agamemnon
and Clytemnestra
, and the brother of Electra and Iphigenia. He was also known by the patronymic Agamemnonides (Ἀγαμεμνονίδης), meaning "son of Agamemnon
." He is the subject of multiple Ancient Greek plays (including Aeschylus' Oresteia), which depict his revenge, madness, and ritual purification.

“that be fairest after Argive Helen. And if we return to Achaean Argos, the richest of lands, he shall be my son, and I will honour him even as Orestes
that is reared in all abundance, my son well-beloved. Three daughters have I in my well-builded hall,”
“what time we Achaeans be dividing the spoil, and heap up thy ship with store of gold and bronze, and thyself choose twenty Trojan women that be fairest after Argive Helen. And if we return to Achaean Argos, richest of lands, thou shalt be his son, and he will honour thee even as Orestes

Происхождение выведено по цепочке родителей: Атрей → Агамемнон → Орест.
from the time when first they parted in strife Atreus' son, king of men, and brilliant Achilles
. Who then of the gods was it that brought these two together to contend? The son of Leto
and Zeus
; for he in anger against the king roused throughout the host an evil pestilence, and the people began to perish,
When he had thus spoken he sat down, and among them arose the warrior, son of Atreus, wide-ruling Agamemnon
, deeply troubled. With rage his black heart was wholly filled, and his eyes were like blazing fire. To CalchasCaCa first of all he spoke, and his look threatened evil:
In answer to him spoke swift-footed brilliant Achilles: Most glorious son of Atreus
, most covetous of all, how shall the great-hearted Achaeans give you a prize? We know nothing of a hoard of wealth in common store, but whatever we took by pillage from the cities has been apportioned,
