Greek Mythology: Atreus' symbol(s) and powers/responsibilities?
I'm having some trouble finding out what Atreus' symbol would be. I saw something about the Greek Theatre Mask of Tragedy being a possible symmbol, but why exactly, and is that true? Or are there others?
Also, I can't find Atreus' exact powers or responsibilities that he has- does anyone know? Your help would be extremely beneficial:)
(And I have searched like crazy throughout the internet and books, so I did put honest effort into this, I just can't seem to find any information on those particular topics)
Thanks.

I can't seem to find a symbol for him either; it may be that there just isn't one, at least none that has survived to the present day. I did manager to find a symbol for Mycenae, the city over which he was King, but only on ONE website which sells jewelry so it may just be something they made up ("Mahlia Crest", if you're interested). I saw nothing about the Greek Theater mask being associated with him.
As for powers & responsibilities, he was the King of Mycenae. You might have better luck finding out the duties and responsibilities of ancient Greek kings in general, rather than his specifically. Also, try looking up his son Agamemnon, who has a little more history behind him due to his involvement in the Trojan War.
