In certain versions of the myth, Clytemnestra and Helen are twins, born from the same egg. This is a feature we see semi-often in myth called Heteropaternal superfecundation - twins from the same womb but by different fathers. Clytemnestra by Leda and Tyndarius, Helen by Leda and Zeus.
The thing is though - Helen is the demigod because of her divine beauty and place within the narrative, but are we sure it was her who Zeus fathered?
Clytemnestra, too clever, in love with authority, commanding. When Clytemnestra killed her husband, no divine judgement rebuked her, almost like Medea being whisked off by her god grandfather after the murders. When Clytemnestra is killed, the furies gather to avenge her where they didn't for Agamemnon.
What if the furies were looking after one of their own? Recognizing divine authority? That is to say,

Artemis doesn't protect Apollo like a Rational Big Sisterâ„¢, or even in a well thought out manner at all. She protects him like a poorly adjusted dog "protects" its owner. Resource guards him.

She'll lunge and growl and bark and bite. Anything to keep him around.
