A/N: This is not The Tales of version of Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods or Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes, but rather The Tales of version of a book I got of Greek and Roman Mythology I got in Rome Italy. The settings will be after 'The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus' so please read that before getting in this story. Think of this story as something to pass by until The Trials of Apollo books.


Aegisthus

This guy was the product of rape and incest all in the name of revenge.

Aegisthus was the son of Thyestes and his daughter Peropia. Thyestes was banished and his sons killed by his brother Atreus, but an oracle told him that he would find an avenger in the form of a son by his own daughter. Accordingly he raped Pelopia by night. Then he disappeared, but during the rape Pelopia stole his sword.

Later, Atreus married Pelopia without knowing who she was. Pelopia abandoned Aegisthus at birth, but Atreus discovered the child among shepherds who had taken him in and fed him with goat's milk which he was named after. When He became a young man Atreus told him to go to Delphi, capture Thyestes and bring him back. Another version says that Agamemnon and Menelaus, Atreus' two sons by Aerope, were charged with this mission.

Aegisthus brought back Thyestes and was ordered to kill him. Aegisthus was wearing his sword which Pelopia had given him, the same sword which had been stolen on the night of the rape. Thyestes learned of this begged for Pelopia to be summoned, and then disclosed the secret of Aegisthus birth. Pelopia seized the sword and stabbed herself; Aegisthus pulled it out, went to find Atreus, who thought that his brother was already dead, killed him and thereafter ruled jointly with Thyestes at Mycenae.

When Aegisthus adopted brothers Agamemnon and Menelaus were at Troy, Aegisthus seduced Clytemnestra and lived with her.

When Agamemnon returned, he was received with great demonstration of friendship and happiness. A great feast was prepared for him, during which he was murdered by Clytemnestra. Aegisthus subsequently reigned afterwards for seven more years over Mycenae before he was killed by Orestes, Agamemnon's son.

Before his death, however, Aegisthus managed to have two kids: and Aletes.

That's the known story connected to Aegisthus.

Now we go to one of the original two feuding brothers before Acrisius and Proetus who was said to name Egypt after himself.
