AGAMEMNON (ATREIDES), SON OF ATREUS
A symbol of the desire-mind, kama-manas, which is
the offspring of illusion (Atreus).
"Nor do thou, O (Achilles) son of Peleus, feel inclined to contend
against the king (Agamemnon); since never yet has any sceptre-bearing
king to whom Jove has given glory, been allotted an equal share of
dignity." - Iliad, Bk. I.
“Nor must the personality (Achilles) begotten of the Higher Self (Peleus),
seek to exterminate and crush out the desire-mind which has its own
purpose in the soul's evolution; for never previous to its advent
has any aspect of the Self, endowed with powers by the Supreme,
attained to so important a position in the Divine scheme (compare
Haman).
“Agamemnon, although the chief commander of the Greeks, is not the
hero of the Iliad, and in chivalrous spirit, bravery and character,
altogether inferior to Achilles. But he nevertheless rises above all
the Greeks by his dignity, power and majesty." - Smith's Class.
Dict.
The "Greeks " signify the lower mental qualities.
