No one knows. Aggememnon was the king of the Achaeans in the Illiad. The Iliad was not written down for centuries and is one of the documents that defines the historical period from prehsitory (That is written records of human events). There is some evidence that the war actually occured, but the dates vary in the 1100's BC.

Agamemnon is a mythological hero whose name is spelled with nine letters of the alphabet.
According to Hittite sources, Agamemnon actually may have lived in the 14th century B.C.E.* In Hittite, his name was Akagamunas. He was a ruler of Ahhiyawa, which was Hittite for 'the land of the Achaeans'. Ancient Greece was settled by four main tribes: the Achaeans, the Aeolians, the Dorians, and the Ionians. But oftentimes the ancient Greeks simply were referred to as Achaeans.
Agamemnon sometimes was called the King of Mycenae, sometimes of Argos. He was the son of Queen Aerope and King Atreus of Mycenae. The King was killed by his own nephew Aegisthus, the son of his own twin brother Thyestes. Agamemnon and his brother Menelaus escaped to the court of King Tyndareus of Sparta. There, they married the King's own daughters. Agamemnon married Clytemnestra, Menelaus the infamous Helen of Troy.
With the outbreak of the Trojan War, Agamemnon became commander of the Achaeans. With the war's end, he claimed as his reward Cassandra, the daughter of Trojan King Priam. Agamemnon's wife was involved in a passionate affair with Aegisthus. Nevertheless, Clytemnestra resented the presence of Cassandra, and reacted most murderously against both her and Agamemnon. Clytemnestra and Agememnon had had four children: Chrysothemis, Electra, Iphigenia, and Orestes. Orestes promptly avenged his father's death by killing his mother.
*Before the Christian Era.

Good answer, though to expand, Cytemnestra actually plotted to have Agamemnon killed years before while he was at Troy. Agamemnon had sacrificed their daughter Iphigenia to Artemis for favorable winds on the journey. Needless to say, Mother Clytemnestra did not appreciate her husband murdering their daughter and when Agamemnon returned, she and her new lover, Aegisthus, murdered him in his bath. Her son Orestes then killed Clytemnestra in revenge.
