@history.in.us: That's why none will remember your name.. The real Agamemnon — High King of Mycenae, King of Kings — ran the largest military coalition the Bronze Age had ever seen. Over 1,000 ships. Dozens of proud, armed, ambitious kings who all thought they were equals. He held them together for ten years. Not through respect. Through the same thing you saw in that scene — the quiet, immovable certainty that resistance had a cost nobody wanted to pay. His own generals resented him. Achilles nearly killed him in front of the whole army. His coalition almost collapsed before a single battle was fought. He kept going. And when it was finally over — when Troy had fallen and the war was won — he went home. Where his wife killed him. History has a sense of irony.
