There are two different versions of this story. In one version, Agamemnon really does kill Iphiginia, which is why Clytemnestra kills him. In the second version, Artemis saves her and takes her to a temple in Tauris. It is said that there was a heavy fog that disguised the switch so Clytemnestra wouldn't have seen it.
Also, if Clytemnestra thought that Iphiginia was still alive, she wouldn't have killed Agamemnon.

Clytemnestra played a significant role in the tragic fate of Cassandra in Greek mythology by being involved in her murder. Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon, was responsible for killing Cassandra along with her husband. This act was part of a larger cycle of revenge and betrayal within the story of the Trojan War.
1 answer
The movie "Troy" removed the role of Cassandra, one of the children of Priam and Hecuba of Troy. Cassandra had been gifted with prophecy, but cursed with the inability to make others believe her prophecies. Agamemnon took her as a war prize and concubine, and returned with her to Greece to his wife Clytemnestra. Clytemnestra was jealous, and still angry with Agamemnon for having killed their daughter Iphigenia at Aulis, so she (or her lover, Aegisthus, Agamemnon's cousin), killed Agamemnon and Cassandra. The son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Orestes, revenged his father's death by killing Clytemnestra.

The fate of Cly is most likely a mistaken reference to Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon in Greek mythology. Clytemnestra was killed by her son Orestes as revenge for her role in the murder of Agamemnon. Her death is a tragic consequence of the cycle of violence and revenge that plagued their family.

Agamemnon had two daughters with his wife Clytemnestra. They were Electra and Iphigenia. Iphigenia was sacrificed to the Gods during the Trojan war, though it is said that Artemis put a hart in her place and took Iphigenia off to Crimea. Electra, on the other hand, has a very different story. Clytemnestra hated her husband. When he returned home from Troy she and her lover, Aegisthus, killed him. Electra plotted for years with her brother Orestes to kill Clytemnestra and Aegisthus as revenge for them killing Agamemnon. Finally she convinced him to kill their mother and his lover.
