Why is Agamemnon famous?
There is no solid proof that Agamemnon was real, so he must be regarded as a mythological figure. In the story of the Trojan War, an alliance was formed among the Greek states, each with their own commanders. Agamemnon was in overall command of the expedition against Troy. Agamemnon was also brother to King Menelaus of Sparta and brother in law to Helen of Troy.
