I love have the foundational text of western society is a cuckold story within a cuckold story

really makes you think

Agamemnon. As Wanax, he does not have the right to demand other kings' booty. He's not an absolute monarch, just a leader of the confederated armies of the greeks.

Achilles had every right to leave if he wanted to.

Agamemnon clearly was the one who initially wronged Achilles as he publicly shamed him by taking his prize/woman. But Achilles was also wrong by being stubborn and declining all the conciliatory efforts of Agamemnon.

For all the wealth he threw at his feet, he still didn't apologize. He could've at least come in person to show his sincerity.

Agamemnon was in the right, he was stronger, therefore better and had a right to the girl. Might is right, that's how ancient greeks saw it.

>>3395012
Agamemnon was not stronger than Achilles. Also, Achilles was the sovereign of his own army. Agamemnon was not the absolute monarch of the Greeks, just the leader of this confederated war band.

He had no right to take someone else's booty, especially Achilles'.

Like, why Achilles' girl? He's like your best dude.
