She waits till he's in his bath, unarmed and unarmored,

then entangles him in a net and stabs him.

Caught in the net, he could not defend himself.

Some versions of the story say she did the whole thing herself,

others say that she was aided by her lover Aegisthus

and still others say that Aegisthus did it all by himself.

Did agamemnon really exist?

Agamemnon is a legendary figure from Greek mythology, particularly known as the king of Mycenae in Homer's "Iliad." While there is no definitive historical evidence that he existed as a real individual, archaeological findings in Mycenae and surrounding areas suggest that the culture and society depicted in these myths may be based on actual historical events and figures from the Late Bronze Age. Thus, while Agamemnon himself may be a mythological character, he may represent a composite of real leaders or warriors from that era.

How does agamemnon treat calchas?

Agamemnon treats Calchas, the seer, with a mix of respect and impatience. While he ultimately seeks Calchas's insight to understand the cause of Apollo's wrath, he initially reacts defensively when Calchas's prophecy reveals an unpleasant truth about his own actions. Agamemnon's response reflects his authority as leader, as he demands the seer's honesty while also showing a reluctance to accept the consequences of the revelation. This dynamic highlights the tension between the power of prophecy and the pride of leadership.
