Homeric Centones of Aelia Eudocia Augusta

Hi, I came across the text below while reading the Homeric Centones of Aelia Eudocia, and was wondering if someone could help shed some light on the translation and interpretation? It seems to be talking about Clytemnestra in Homer's Odyssey?
κουρίδιον κτείνασα πόσιν, στυγερὴ δέ τ ̓ἀοιδὴ
ἔσσετ ̓ἐπ ̓ἀνθρώπους, χαλεπὴν δέ τε φῆμιν ὄπασσεν
θηλυτέρῃσι γυναιξί, καὶ ἥ κ ̓εὑεργὸς ἔησιν.
Thanks in advance.
