In Agamemnon’s speech in the Iliad (1.119-221), he is filled with rage and is blazing with anger, due to the deadly Archer’s plague of casualties sent to the Achaeans. Agamemnon is then forced to give the young girl, Chryseis, back to her devoted father. This was the beginning of the internal crises for the Achaeans. In lines (1.136-141), he states being humiliated and the only way he could compensate for what he had lost is by implying to his warriors that he wants one of their wives. Agamemnon is an arrogant, inconsiderate ruler who is determined to get his way. The consequences don’t matter, he is driven by self-interest. As he strips Achilles of his prize, Briseis, he shows agency. Due to his rage and assumptions when Achilles suggested to give back Chryseis, he was immediately interested in what Achilles had. In lines (1.162-164), he already had the idea to take one of his warrior’s women, but by Achilles insulting him and threatening to leave the Achaeans, Agamemnon challenges him and enrages him as well. Agamemnon acted upon free will. He didn’t act upon impulse, he knew what he was doing by enraging Achilles. He was well aware that Achilles would leave the Achaeans. At that moment it didn’t matter to him. He was the representation of Zeus. His decision was not made from the help of outside forces, although in the Iliad, the gods prevent the Greeks from acting freely in most occasions.  From the implications of his speech, he enjoys to prove his legitimate power towards others. He knew he had the choice to either leave the matter alone or to start conflicts with his most esteemed warrior. It comes to show, rage between one men’s will can clash with another man’s will.
