Each recounting of the tale differs slightly from the last and while the outcome is always the same‚ the characters are portrayed in vastly different lights between the poem and the play. Where the Odyssey portrays Agamemnon as a hero murdered by his lecherous wife Clytemnestra and his cowardly cousin Aegisthus‚ Agamemnon portrays him as cold and arrogant while his wife is a more
