Clytemnestra was married to Agamemnon.
Agamemnon went to fight a war.
Clytemnestra started shacking up with Aegisthus and life was good.
They plotted to kill Agamemnon upon his return.
Agamemnon was killed by Aegisthus or Clytemnestra or both of them.
Avenging the death of his father, Clytemnestra was killed by her son and Electra, not Carmen.
Her son was named Orestes.

Minnie was named after Clytemnestra’s son and killer, Orestes.
Minnie was not a mouse, but was not fond of his surname.
He wasn’t that fond of his mother’s surname either
Minnie’s mother was named Cecilia.
Cecilia’s mother’s maiden name was Minyoso.
The surname Minoso with a tilde over the n.
Minnie’s father, Carlos, worked in the sugar fields in Cuba.

After Carlos and Cecilia divorced, Minnie had his name changed.
Minnie did not like his father’s surname, nor his mother’s surname.
He used his grandmother’s surname, Minoso, pronounced Minyoso with a tilde over the n.
So the now familiar name of Minnie Minyoso was created long after his birth.
However his given name remains Orestes Minyoso officially.

Are you confused yet? This should help.

Minnie's father Carlos’ last name was Arrieta.
Jake Arrieta is not related to Carlos, but originally Minnie Minyoso was named Orestes Arrieta, not Minnie Minyoso.
Was Jake Arrieta named after Orestes Arrieta or Minnie Minyoso? I doubt it, but
now you know the relationship between Jake Arrieta and Clytemnestra.

Am i right, do you think you will forget this?
And I bet if you go to Cooperstown in the future, you will look for the tilde on Minnie's plaque.

I was praying for a ref's early whistle while reading this.....
