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.

    This is good enough, but it would be better if you give more details that would prove Agamemnon's stubbornness.
