Whether Clytemnestra was seduced into the affair or entered into it independently differs according to the respective author of the myth.

Clytemnestra was enraged by Iphigenia's murder (and presumably the earlier murder of her first husband by Agamemnon, and her subsequent rape and forced marriage).
