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 was the King of Mycenae (now part of Greece) at the time of the Trojan War. Paris took Menelaus's wife, Helen back to Troy and thus caused the war.

Menelaus was Agamemnon's brother- by the way - and King of Sparta.

In Greek mythology, Agamemnon is the son of King Atreus of Mycenae and Queen Aerope; the brother of Menelaus and the husband of Clymenstra; different mythological versions make him the king either of Mycenae or of Argos. When Helen, the wife of Menelaus, was abducted by Paris (mythology) of Troy, Agamemnon was the commander of the Achaeans (Homer) in the ensuing Trojan War. Upon his return from Troy he was murdered by Aegisthus, the lover of his wife Clytemnestra, who herself slew Cassandra, Agamemnon's unfortunate concubine, as she clung to him.

Agamemnon did not actually rule. He was a figure in Greek mythology that is thought to have been based on a ruler from the 14th century B.C.
