Erigone (daughter of Aegisthus)

Some accounts said that by her half-brother, Orestes, Erigone was the mother of Penthilus[1] and Tisamenus.

[2] Erigone would have been slain by Orestes along with her brother Aletes if not for the intervention of Artemis, who rescued her and made her a priestess in Attica.

[3] In some stories, she hangs herself after the child is born, though this may be a confusion with Erigone, daughter of Icarius.

Also, after Hermione died, she is said to have married Orestes and gave birth to Penthilus.
