Agamemnon was the king of Mycenae (PROSE: The Myth Makers) and the brother of Menelaus. He claimed that the Trojan War, fought to get Menelaus' wife Helen, back was a matter of honour.
When Achilles brought the First Doctor to Agamemnon, claiming he was Zeus, and Odysseus said the Doctor was a spy, Agamemnon was unsure of his course of action. He placed the Doctor under a "reverent" arrest and offered him hospitality. When the Doctor tried to show Agamemnon his temple, it was gone, and the Doctor was forced to admit he and Steven Taylor were not gods, merely travellers. Agamemnon ordered them killed. The Doctor, however, managed to convince Agamemnon and Odysseus to try his idea of a Trojan horse to win their war. (TV: The Myth Makers)
