The scars of Troy. (Question #3)

Special thanks to moniqueblog.net

In reference to what is happening in the wars and the scars of Troy and Iliad. This statement can be proved true. As seen in book number one, Agamemnon and Achilles parted ways and fought because of a girl. Threw words of disgrace and dishonor to one another and battled it out through swords and bloodshed. With this, the words they threw struck their hearts destroyed their character especially in the condition of Chryses and Achilles. Its like they're double dead because Agamemnon not only destroyed their character, but he took also the one that they live for, their girls, their prize. And also in the part of Hector, He as a king is risking his life in battle. Not just sitting around, ordering commands, but he is in the battlefield with his men will face Achilles. And when he went back in his Kingdom. He knew he'll be doomed in the hands of Achilles. He had his last moment, put down his dignity and spent a solemn moment with his family and said goodbye to his offspring.

As a fill-in to this topic, In the modern age of technology and in the improvisations of weaponry and artillery. The World War II caused a lot of destruction in this world. A lot of lives has been taken, even the lives of the innocent. Many souls we're put to rest and some survived. Generals and Commanders of many nations battle it out to see which of them is the best in the fields of despair. Many of them destroy each country and each country's character is destroyed and put in the hands of the oppressors. Especially the World War II veterans who risked their life for their country, who faced the terror in the hands of their enemy. Their dignity, character and every inch of their spirit was taken away from them. And luckily they survived.

Looking back to Iliad. The epic war of Troy symbolized that many lives different fleets was taken. Many forces of evil pushed through but failed. Like King Agamemnon, He's too confident in conquering Troy but in the end. He lost.

The Stubbornness of heart of King Agamemnon

Credits to Michael Drolling for the painting.

In the modern day background, King Agamemnon's stubbornness can be depicted in the eyes of the Youth. In relationships to be exact. He is selfish, and arrogant. Even though he is a King, he should not possess that kind of character. It is not fit for a righteous king like him.
The quarrel about Briseis was an extravagant battle of words between Achilles and King Agamemnon. If you compare it to the fights between relationships nowadays, you'll only hear nonsense words between the two, but if you heard or read for this manner the conversation of King
Agamemnon and Achilles, you'll be amazed with the words
they are throwing to each other. But sadly, Achilles gave up in his fight for Briseis. He did not overcome King Agamemnon's arrogance and stubbornness.

And with Chryseis, her father Chryses didn't stood a chance against King Agamemnon. Even with the gold to be bestowed upon the King, all of the chiefs agreed with the gold but He did not take it, Instead he even despised Chryses and the Chiefs with words hurtful to the heart. Even if Chryses called out to the Sun God Apollo, King Agamemnon still didn't gave up his daughter. How selfish and impious he is.

Achilles and Chryses suffered the loss of the girl of their lives. King Agamemnon made Chryseis his wife and Briseis his mistress. How cruel was the act of this king. I cannot imagine the way of his mindset as a ruler, kidnapping a daughter of a righteous man and having a mistress leads you to a failure not just in war, but in life. This is a perfect representation of what a stubborn man is, King Agamemnon defined the word "Stubborn and Arrogant" in his acts as a king and as a husband and a ruler.

End.
