In Greek mythology, Erigone (/ɪˈrɪɡəni/; Ancient Greek: Ἠριγόνη, romanized: Ērigónē, lit. 'early-born') is the daughter of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, rulers of Mycenae after the murder of King Agamemnon. Depending on version she was either married to her half-brother Orestes and bore him children, or Orestes tried to kill her when he claimed his throne, but the goddess Artemis saved her.

Erigone (daughter of Aegisthus) in the context of Tisamenus (son of Orestes)
Tisamenus (Ancient Greek: Τισαμενός), in Greek mythology, was a son of Orestes and Hermione, daughter of Menelaus, or Erigone, daughter of Aegisthus who were first cousins twice over (their mothers were half-sisters and their fathers were brothers), so Tisamenus had only five great-grandparents, instead of the usual eight. Tisamenus succeeded his father to the thrones of Argos, Mycenae and Sparta.
