Agamemnon

Agamemnon was king of the Myrmidons. He was told by Calchas that in order to win a fair wind to sail to Troy he would have to sacrifice his daughter. Agamemnon liked Iphigenea, but he eventually decided that "...his daughter... was less to him than his pride..."(p.29). Agamemnon killed Iphigenea, the wind changed, and he headed off to Troy.
