agamemnon

That's a key difference between Agamemnon and Achilles: the latter is much more respectful of the Gods than the other.

When Agamemnon learns he will die with one foot on land and one in the water, that's time travel.

The distinction between bride price and dowry only serves to show Agamemnon is making up the rules and the whole thing is a farce.

Interesting side stories include that of Iphigenia, which explains Clytemnestra’s betrayal more than the woman hating rhetoric spewed by Agamemnon (in hades) or other accounts.

Inside his pyramid-shaped vessel, the cymek general Agamemnon led the attack.

The fact that he spends a dozen chapters sulking over the insult of Agamemnon taking away Briseis costs him Patroclus, which is a far greater loss.

Atreides is not a made up word, it directly references the descendants of Atreus from the greek myths -- Agamemnon himself (well, his voice) makes an appearance!

It’s a way for Agamemnon to seem like he’s in control, and to remind the Greeks why he’s king - because he’s a narcissistic psychopath who will do necessary, but horrible things nobody else will do.

For moderns, who are not part of a bronze age warrior culture, it can be difficult to contemplate just how thoroughly Agamemnon humiliates Achilles in front of the entire army in Book I.

Had Achilles submitted to the humiliation Agamemnon inflicted upon him he would have added cowardice and unmanliness to his dishonor: he would have lost all respect by his peers and the social expectation would have been to commit suicide.

He might translate the sentence about Agamemnon to say something like “Quivering rose in Agamemnon’s belly”.

Achilles unloads a few fair insults on Agamemnon in the first book of the Iliad, "drunkard, face like a dog, brave as a deer".

In the Iliad, Agamemnon offers Achilles one of his daughter (whichever Achilles wants) with “no bride price, and full dowry.” Agamemnon is the leader of the Greeks, but he is of slightly lower social standing than Achilles.

Here is the Blaise Pascal quote in the first link: > "nobody supposes that Troy and Agamemnon existed any more than the apples of the Hesperides.

But Achilles wants to join the battle, and die, for personal reasons (vengeance) unrelated to Agamemnon.

In exchange, Greece will loan to the BM equally important artifacts (rumors include Agamemnon's death mask) to replace the sculptures.

Gandalf reading The Odessy!) The basic story is that in among a who-stole-my-woman war, one dude (Agamemnon) steals another dude's war-prize slave woman.
