Athenaeus tells a tale of how Agamemnon mourned the loss of his friend or lover Argynnus, when he drowned in the Cephisus river. Argynnus swam naked across the river Cephisus. Agamemnon watched him, instantly fell in love with him, forgot himself and forgot Aulis, the army of the Greeks and Troy. Unfortunately, a little later, the lover drowned in the river. At the point of his death, Agamemnon had a temple of the goddess of love Aphrodite built on the bank.
He is also said to have had a relationship with the wedding god Hymenaeus.
