A Leader's Weakness

It is true that there are powerful ones, and weak ones. Strength is the fundamental measurement for you to be characterized on powerful ones, or weak ones.

But every powerful and weak ones have weaknesses. No matter how great or powerful you are, a weakness shall conquer you in every way. Zeus, the God of Gods, has a weakness too. It is not elemental, or water, or whatever. Zeus' weakness is Women.

Zeus of Olympia likes women. But not just women, it's Beautiful women. He likes beautiful women so much, that a Goddess, who is so beautiful, seduced him in order to get what she wants. That Goddess was no other than Hera. The Goddess wanted to help the Achaians, she seduced the God then Zeus slept. Hera did what she has to do with Poseidon, and that is helping the Achaians. Zeus woke up and saw Poseidon, and got angry. But as soon he heard Hera's excuses, his anger faded.

This is how a weakness can make a fool out of you.

King Agamemnon shows stubbornness of heart

The King is a person, who rules one empire, who rules one state, who rules one nation, and who rules the people. They are the ones who implement rules and regulations, leaders of war, president of a country, and a father to the people.

King Agamemnon's stubbornness is present from the very start of The Iliad. The king gave up his slave, Chryseis, because of Apollo's threat. Since King Agamemnon is a very stubborn man, he indeed let Chryseis go but he now wanted Briseis. Briseis is a war price of Achilles from the Trojan War. This started the quarrel of Agamemnon and Achilles. This also proves the stubbornness of the King.

Here is a picture of the Stubborn king.


Some kings maybe nice and good, but some are just naughty and stubborn.
Today, on this modern society we live, there are a lot of King Agamemnons lurking around the streets. Snatchers, government officials who steal, and the presidents. Like Agamemnon, they rule one state, and like Agamemnon, they show greed.
