Agamemnon was the King of Mycenae, the chosen commander-in-chief for the war against the Trojan empire. He hungered for a successful campaign over Troy. With just the briefest hesitation, he agreed to sacrifice his beloved daughter, Iphigeneia, and then his Greece fleets will be protected from unfavorable winds and destructive storms.
Like Agamemnon, the most powerful and respected king of all the Greek city states, he was successful in his career. He would do whatever it takes to be prosperous, even to sacrifice his family. Sooner or later, you’ll become a working man or woman and perhaps get married and have a wonderful family. How will you juggle your work and family? Would you rather sacrifice your family than protect your career as Agamemnon did? How would you cope with “the sacrifice of Iphigeneia” were you Agamemnon?
