Having read Agamemnon in high school I knew about that part but damn that portrayal was savage, especially in that full armor that gave him his monstrous presence.

I was really questioning his look in the promotional stuff, but the armor worked fantastic for the movie.

His death was a guarantee when he sacrificed his daughter for better winds

Yeah, I felt the same. Great presence. Then he comes back as a shade and actually gives Odysseus some advice.
