Book Synopsis Agamemnon, the Pathetic Despot by : Andrew Porter
Book excerpt: Andrew Porter explores characterization in Homer, from an oral-traditional point of view, through the resonance of words, themes, and "back stories" from the past and future. He analyzes Agamemnon's character traits in the Iliad, including his qualities as a leader, against events such as his tragic homecoming in the Odyssey.
