Agamemnon treats Calchas, the seer, with a mix of respect and impatience. While he ultimately seeks Calchas's insight to understand the cause of Apollo's wrath, he initially reacts defensively when Calchas's prophecy reveals an unpleasant truth about his own actions. Agamemnon's response reflects his authority as leader, as he demands the seer's honesty while also showing a reluctance to accept the consequences of the revelation. This dynamic highlights the tension between the power of prophecy and the pride of leadership.
