King Of All The Greeks

Agamemnon -- care for him, none
was a king among the Greeks.
rude and callous, in his palace
well, if one believes the leaks.

the narrator, no spectator
Homer, really brought it home
when Achilles took his fillies
and went absent from the poem

and Cassandra suffered under
as a concubine of sorts
Clytemnestra tried to best her
it all ended up in swords

horses whinny near Mycenae
and its king a masterclass
and the moral is: no laurel
makes it worth to be an ass
