For her having a counter-affair, or for his death...?

I think her relationship with his cousin was simply an assertion of power, but the murder was payback for Agamemnon's sacrificing their daughter, at least according to some versions of the story. In the play, he simply walks in with his concubine in tow and finds it unremarkable, expected, that his wife would meet him with open arms. Talk about overconfidence ...

Aye, you're right of course; I wasn't considering the sacrifice simply 'cuz the thread was about sluts.

Cheers!
