Heart Problems

Have you ever wondered why other people, even if you reminded them several times they won’t listen? Have you ever realized why some people are not contended on what they have? Then they have some “heart” problem! Not physical heart problem but the trait of their heart. Are you familiar who he is? Clue: famous person, a king of Mycenae, and finally commander of Achaeans. Do you know him? His name is Agamemnon!! Agamemnon is a king of Mycenae and the commander of Achaeans during the Trojan war. He is the man with some heart problems. Not the physical heart problems but like I said, the trait. First, his greed, not an ordinary greed of money, and food, but also women. In the book Iliad, some part there shows the greediness of Agamemnon in women. As the Achaeans raids the towns near troy, they captured two beautiful girls name Chryseis and Briseis. As Chryseis’ father came to Achaean camp to rescuce his daughter, Agamemnon refuses and rudely ask the old man to leave. In despair the old man prayed to Apollo and curses the city. It  only shows that Agamemnon is greedy when it comes to women. In addition,  Agamemnon agrees to release the girl, in condition that he gets Achilles’ girl! How greedy he is! Another one, Agamemnon tries to appease the god Apollo. He returns Chryseis to her father and sends his soldiers to capture Briseis. Surprisingly, Achilles surrenders without a fight. In our modern day, we can cite some examples similar to the problems of Agamemnon, like the kidnappers, the bad guys! The will kidnapped a kid or anyone else and they  try to contact it’s relatives and the they will ask for the ransom to free the hostage. Like Agamemnon, he try to get a ransom, and the ransom is not the money, but another woman.

Another of Agamemnon heart problems is that he cheats. As Paris and Menelaus fight for a one – on – one duel, Menelaus was able to drag Paris near the Achaean line, Aphrodite rescue Paris through a thick cloud smoke. And Agamemnon says that Menelaus unquestionably won and therefore Helen should be restored to him. the only thing that I can say is, whatever you want, you do it in good way and not try to cheat and also try not to be a greedy person just like Agamemnon. Because a close fist cannot receive a blessings but an open fist can.
