About this document
Agamemnon by MariaFrank is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Herodotus readily embraces myth in both his narrative and speeches. His representation of complex motivations, description of the conflict between Greeks and Persians, and panhellenic outlook influence how he portrays Agamemnon. Agamemnon reflects the idealistic and pragmatic motivations of the Spartans in the context of the Persian Wars and their leadership of the Greeks. Thucydides generally avoids mythological arguments, sees myth as relatively insignificant, and describes a war between Greeks. Agamemnon
