Atrides
The Atrides (in Greek old οἱ Ἀτρείδαι / hoi Atreídai ) is the descendants of Atrée, in the Greek Mythologie.
This house was cursed by the gods because founded in the blood of the twin brother of Atrée, Thyeste, and its destiny was marked by the murder, the parricide, the child murder and the inceste. Only Apollon will stop the cycle of violence while making judge Oreste, the matricide, on the hill of the Aréopage, by the first criminal court of the city of Athens.
