Question

What act of Atreus resulted in the curse of famine to the people of Mycenae?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Atreus killed Thyestes's children and served them to him as a meal.

Explanation:

• In Greek mythology Atreus was the Mycenaean king, son of Pelops, father of Agamemnon and Menelaus, which is why they are called Atreidai.
• Out of revenge on his brother, who seduced his wife and devised his murder, he killed his two sons and treated himself with their flesh.
• Still, Atreus was later killed by the third son.
