In writing I never deliberately intended the parallel to extend beyond Iphigenia (and that link was only something I thought of 'after the fact' so to speak) but I think Ronon fits the Clytemnestra role surprisingly well. He's a single-minded, highly principled but deeply prejudiced person and I really don't like to think where it would have gone if Sheppard and McKay (as Agammemnon and Menelaus if you like) had 'sacrificed' Jeannie...
