Agamemnon was a legendary king of Argos and leader of the Greek forces during the Trojan War.

Influence

After his death, a tomb dedicated to him was built in Argolis, within the region regarded as his 'palace'.[1]

Agamemnon is featured in Homer's works The Iliad and The Odyssey. The authors Euripides and Sophokles also wrote of him. [citation needed]

He was referred by the Cult of Kosmos as the first servant of Kosmos, the Cult's ideal of peace through order.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios Kassandra found Agamemnon's own personal armor set that he had worn in battle, most notably during the Trojan War.[1]

Trivia

  • His name in Greek, Ἀγαμέμνων, means 'very steadfast', 'unbowed'. Derived from Ἀγαμέδμων from ἄγαν, 'very much' and μέδομαι, 'think on'.[2]
