Agamemnon was the commander of the Greek forces in the Trojan War, supplying 100 ships. He sacrificed his daughter Iphigeneia to appease Artemis, who had prevented the Greek fleet from sailing by sending calm or contrary winds. He also clashed with Achilles over their prizes of war, leading to Achilles’ withdrawal from battle.
