Son and avenger of Agamemnon (7)

I believe the answer is:

orestes

(Other definitions for orestes that I've seen before include "Brother of Electra; so terse (anag.)" , "Killer of mother" , "Mythological Greek" , "he killed his mother and her lover" , "Tragically, killer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
