Even in the movie (nevermind the actual Illiad), Agamemnon is clearly seen not only in battle, but in the front lines themselves. He's fighting and risking his own life right alongside everyone else (remember the arrow that takes out his charriot driver and forces him to take the reins when charging after the Paris/Menelaus duel, he's clearly in range of the archers and thus in danger). Yet Achilles talks to him as if he were Priam (sitting out the battles in safety while having others do the fighting/bleeding/dying). Just saying, maybe even Pitt himself was aware of the sheer hipocrisy in Achilles' attitude and thus why he looks always so uncomfortable...

EXACTLY!! 👏👏👏👏 This movie was so inaccurate in its portrayal of Agamemnon's battle prowess and looks who was said to have "eyes and head like Zeus, waist like Ares and chest like Poseidon" (Book 2). Enemy king Priam admired his strength and looks (Book 3), he was one of the warrior most wished for to fight Hector alongside Diomedes and Big Ajax (Book 7), he routs the Trojans to their walls without divine assistance or divine weapons (Book 11), and even Achilles later admits that Agamemnon "far surpasses us all both in strength and in throwing the spear" (Book 23).

@@el_killorcure No, Diomedes was indeed helped by the gods. It was Athena that gave him enhanced strength to fight gods and he wounded Aphrodite. It was Athena who technically wounded Ares by taking Diomedes's spear and aiming it at Ares' gut. And Apollo pushed Diomedes back three times. Agamemnon on the other hand, was the only major hero who never needed divine weapons or divine aid in battle and he routed the Trojan to the walls on his own strength. (Book 11).

Moses Eliakim they butchered Agamemnon in this movie. Agamemnon is portrayed as a coward in this movie, but in book 11 of the Iliad he went on a rampage during a battle, slaughtering multiple Trojan men of note, including 2 sons of Priam. "So under Agamemnon fell the heads of flying Trojans". "His victorious hands reek'd, red with gore". He only stopped because he received a bad wound in his arm (of course he beheaded the man who wounded him, and left his body on the field on top of the man's brother's corpse) and the pain was likened to a woman giving birth. Hector fled the battle in fear of his life in the face of Agamemnon, only returning after Agamemnon left. To Hector's credit, he did manage to turn the battle around quite well and kill multiple Greek men of note, even after Agamemnon single-handedly routed the Trojan army.

He claims Big Ajax was 2nd only to Achilles but yet Big Ajax (who was more of a defensive fighter) never had an aristeia unlike Diomedes, Agamemnon, Patroclus and Achilles. And in the funeral games for Patroclus, Big Ajax never won first prize in anything even with Achilles sitting out.

Agamemnon though is the only major warrior to rout the Trojans to their very walls without divine weapons or divine help.

Well in the original poem, Achilles was the most skilled warrior of them all but he was by no means far above others. You had Ajax, Diomedes, Menelaos and even Agamemnon himself proved at times a valid warrior fighting in the frontline killing quite a number of Trojan princes, contrary to his depictions in the film. Diomedes was really a close, very close match to Achilles even if he did not benefit from godly protection (in fact many Gods quite disliked him as he was attacking all pro-Trojan Gods, LOL! Crazy guy!). In reality Homer clearly underlines that the most complete hero was Diomedes, not Achilles since he was nearly as skilled, the same as brave, but also more intelligent, almost as much as Odysseus, more politically adept, a good orator and a fine leader in spite of his relatively young age. Diomedes and Odysseus made a lethal combination and they proved their bronze even in night-time special operations.
