Solution
Answer
The answer is Atreus.
Explanation
Option 1: Atreus
Atreus is the correct answer. In Greek mythology, Atreus is the father of Agamemnon. He was a king of Mycenae and a central figure in the House of Atreus, a family known for its tragic and cursed history.
Option 2: Agamemnon Sr.
This option is incorrect. There is no historical or mythological figure known as Agamemnon Sr. in Greek mythology.
Option 3: Achilles
Achilles is not related to Agamemnon as his father. Achilles is a separate character in Greek mythology, known for being a hero of the Trojan War and the central character in Homer's "Iliad."
Option 4: Peleus
Peleus is the father of Achilles, not Agamemnon. Peleus was a king of the Myrmidons and is known for his marriage to the sea nymph Thetis, which produced Achilles.
