Odysseus hates Agamemnon.

Of course he never lets it show. He doesn't know how long the war will last, but it will be long, and he can't afford to be on bad terms with any of the other kings (especially Agamemnon the lord of men). So Odysseus smiles at him, advises him, drinks with him like a friend... But the simple thought of killing your own child so for the sake of going to war is enough to make him sick in disgust. Behind his fake smiles he is overwhelmed by the hatred he feels whenever he faces that man.

#idk if anything is said about their personnal feelings on each other #also i genuinely cant remember what thought process led me to this hc #but i think its cool #i rly like the parallel betweem them #Ody went to war to avoid his child's death.
