Agamemnon's Actions
Book 1
When Chryses comes + asks for his daughter's return he refuses + threatens him not to return again
Upon the suggestion by Kalchas that Chryseis be returned to appease Apollo + lift the plague, he demands another prize of equal worth to replace her
He threatens to take someone else's prize by force if the Achaian's do not provide him with one
He even threatens to take Briseis frim Achilleus
Once the assembly has broken up he places Chryseis on a ship with a holy hecatomb and sends Odysseus to take it to Chryses
He then hold to his earlier threat
he sends his heralds, Eurybates + Talthybios to fetch Briseis from Achilleus' tent
Book 4
When Menelaos is injured by Pandaros, he flies into despair + mourns his brothers death, despite the fact that he is only lightly injured
He summons the best healer among the Achaians to take care of him
Agamemnon moves among the Achaian troops rallying them to fight
He comes across Idomeneus + compliments him greatly to spur him on
He does the same to the Aiantes + Nestor
When he comes to Odysseus he criticises + challenges him
He acts similarly towards Diomedes, telling him of his fathers greatness + triumphs
Book 6
When he sees Menelaos about to spare Adrestos, he orders him to kill the man, as no Trojan can be left alive
He manages to win his brother over to his state of mind and Adrestos is killed
This savagery + bloodthirst contrasts to the extreme care Agamemnon displayed in book 4 when Menelaos was injured
Book 9
Orders his heralds to gather the men to assembly
Crying, he stands before the Achaians + declares that there is no hope in winning the war now that Zeus has turned against them
He proposes that they all return home in dishonour
After Diomedes restores hope in the troops there is a smaller assembly, consisting of the elders, held in Agamemnon's tent
Agamemnon agrees to Nestor's proposal to appease Achilleus + get him to rejoin the fight
He also decides to offer Achilleus a great many gifts to try and win him over
Upon the return of the embassy to Achilleus, he inquires as to Achilleus' answer
