Who is the daughter of agamemnon?

Agamemnon had two daughters with his wife Clytemnestra. They were Electra and Iphigenia. Iphigenia was sacrificed to the Gods during the Trojan war, though it is said that Artemis put a hart in her place and took Iphigenia off to Crimea. Electra, on the other hand, has a very different story. Clytemnestra hated her husband. When he returned home from Troy she and her lover, Aegisthus, killed him. Electra plotted for years with her brother Orestes to kill Clytemnestra and Aegisthus as revenge for them killing Agamemnon. Finally she convinced him to kill their mother and his lover.
