 Thus given the derivation from κλῠτός ("klutós" "celebrated") and μήδομαι ("mḗdomai" "to plan, be cunning"), this would result in the quite descriptive "famous plotter".Clytemnestra was the daughter of Tyndareus and Leda, the King and Queen of Sparta, making her a Spartan Princess.According to the myth, Zeus appeared to Leda in the form of a swan, seducing and impregnating her.
