I have finally died and am now spending my days in the UNDERWORLD writing my Journal. You might be wondering who had killed such a mighty man as me. I had not died in the battlefield, but by the hands of my own wife Clytemnestra and her 'husband' Aegisthus!

This is how it happened... The consistently week winds were preventing my ships from sailing. This had involved the gods, I was told that the winds would return if I had sacrificed my daughter Iphigenia to the gods. I persuaded my wife to let send her to me so that she could marry her to Achilles. Then when Iphigenia arrived I had to sacrifice her I was hesitant but then I realized that she would be sacrificed with great reason.

During this time I had just figured out that Clymestra had left me for Aegisthus and had already planned to kill me right at the moment she knew that I had sacrificed Iphigenia.

She had tricked me with a warm welcoming back home and when I went to take a bath she suddenly entangled me with a cloth net and then stabbed me with a knife. There was no way of escaping the net was wrapped around me and the cut was so deep that you could almost slice my whole hand off. At the point I knew that it was my time to go...
