The Murder of Agamemnon from Stories from the Greek Tragedians by Alfred Church Source: Project Gutenberg The image has a black background. In the center of the scene, Agamemnon lies prone on the floor, hands stretched out over his head. He is completely covered in a long robe and head covering. Elektra kneels in front of his hands as though Agamemnon were reaching out to her as he died. Her head is in her hands in an expression of grief. She wears a long robe bare across the shoulders and arm. Standing behind Agamemnon's body is Clytemnestra. She stands erect, left hand on her hip, a long handled double bladed axe resting oh her shoulder. Her face is stern. She is dressed in a long gown belted at the waist, the end of the belt draped over her left shoulder. A bearded Orestes kneels at Agamemnon's feet, hands clasped, his head bent as he looks down at the body. His posture suggests grief and despair. He is also wearing a long robe, with his left shoulder and arm free, the end of the robe draped over his right shoulder.
