There were many leaders in the time of the Greeks. But there were two that stood out from others. Agamemnon and Oedipus were two very alike yet different leaders of their time. Agamemnon was the leader of the Achaeans, a huge army of the Greek times. While he was a good leader in many ways, he was far from perfection.

He was sent away from his father as a baby. Instead, he solved a riddle and won the throne of Thebes and a beautiful queen as his wife.

Everyone has there own uniqueness that is what makes the people of the world who they are today..
