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.
You narrated the events well; however, you failed to point out people who can be compared to Agammemnon.
