Narrate how King Agamemnon shows stubbornness of heart in books 1-5
King Agamemnon is the King present on the book The Iliad.
The King, according to my observation, shows stubbornness throughout the books. This stubbornness lead him to a quarrel with Achilles. Also, the King took a girl named Chryseis and made her his slave. Soon, Chryses, the priest and father of Chryseis, attempted to give a ransom for him to get back his daughter. The king rejected the priest's offer, and made Apollo angry. The God attacks the town, making the king release Chryseis. King Agamemnon sought for Briseis, Achilles' war prize. This started their quarrel.
This shows Greed on people, who lie, cheat, and steal. Kidnappers, rapists, and many people who are alike.
