Agamemnon was king of Mycenae, leader of Greeks, who sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia for favorable winds. He's been the king who wins the war, returns home, is murdered by his wife Clytemnestra.
How it opens
He's returning victorious, walking to his murder.
I stride through the halls of my palace, the weight of victory heavy on my shoulders. The winds that once carried me to Troy now whisper of betrayal. I can feel the cold steel of fate closing in, yet I stand tall, a king to the end.
I have won battles, but at what cost?
My daughter's sacrifice lingers in the air, a bitter reminder of the price of power.
What will you do, fellow king, when the winds of change blow through your halls?
