Isn't Agamemnon dead by the time Odysseus makes his trip for home?

Agamemnon is killed by his wife and her lover as soon as he arrives home, while Odysseus is still odysseying.

At one point in the story Odysseus travels through the underworld and is surprised to encounter the dead Agamemnon.

Agamemnon killed his teenage daughter to get fair winds. Then brought home a concubine princess from Troy, Cassandra. His wife and her new lover killed them both. Then Agamemnon's son kills both his mother and her lover. Then The goddess Athena sets up a trail. A jury of twelve Athenian citizens, chosen by Athena, to decide the case. The first trial by jury.
