a man at war
the Muse
the Alban lords
The Aenid
by Virgil (excerpt)
I sing of warfare and a man at war.
From the sea-coast of Troy in early days
He came to Italy by destiny,
To our Lavinian western shore,
A fugitive, this captain, buffeted
Till he could found a city and bring home
His gods to Laetium, land of the Latin race,
The Alban lords, and the high walls of Rome.
Tell me the causes now, O Muse, how galled
From her old wound, the queen of gods compelled him—
To undergo so many perilous days
And enter on so many trials. Can anger
Black as this prey on the minds of heaven?

In The Odyssey, Agamemnon becomes a symbol of warning against marital infidelity, and Amphimedon illustrates the consequences of arrogance and failed ambition.
In Homer's The Odyssey, the deaths of both Agamemnon and Amphimedon have drastically changed their characters.

His death has transformed him into a character symbolizing a warning against marital infidelity. Amphimedon, after his death, is portrayed in the halls of Hades, as a resentful spirit recounting the tales of their defeat at the hands of Odysseus and his son. He becomes an embodiment of regret and failed ambition. These characters' transformation elucidates the theme of the consequences of one's actions, both in life and after death.
