As I read this tale I could not help but wonder which death would have been better for Agamemnon; a meaningless death, or the death that he received. His death at the hands of his treacherous wife did have meaning, and it brought about action, but it was terrible. Nothing positive came from the murder of this man. However, a meaningless death may have been just as horrible to him as the one that he received. Which is better? I would argue that Agamemnon would have voted for the death he received over one void of meaning, because at least this was a story to be remembered and retold.
P.S. I commented on Kelli's post
