II book two
Agamemnon, king of Argo, makes daily sacrifices to Zeus the son of mighty Cronus. He makes daily offerings to receive blessings he needs now within his lifetime and he knows how limited his time is. Agamemnon knows that if he could just settle his dispute about this woman with Achilles, it will be much easier to take Troy. The Argonaut's king plans to take the city's riches home, to take the horses, to take the gold, to take the women, to take them slaves to take of which there are plenty behind these walls ahead. Yet Agamemnon knows his time is limited just as every mortal's time is. He watches a storm hitting the shore, where waves are crashing against the cliffs in the strong Southerly Wind. White caps line the horizon. Gales hit from every quarter, left and right. Poseidon is having a bad cold, coughing up this storm, and Zeus the god of earthquake is shaking his fist at the northern god Thor who just happens to vacation along these scenic Turkish shores. Agamemnon also knows that he is rich for he still has every day 24 hours to do with as he pleases, however not with Achilles' girl, no !
