The Basilian finds himself completely humiliated by his misadventure of a speech. Agamemnon is drowning here and does what good leaders do, uses his teammates' strengths. Its commander Ulysses is known for his silver tongue. With the help of Agamemnon's scepter, Odysseus manages to convince the men to return and lean on their leader once again. Setting aside his pride for a moment to allow Odysseus to help him, Agamemnon does what is best for his community. In the eyes of the ancient Greeks, his action is one of the most beautiful things a person can do. By accepting help Agamemnon is able to understand and admit his own shortcomings; he tells his men "Achilles and I are quarreling about this girl, and in this argument I was the first to be offended" (Gutenberg). By showing his humility and being able to speak so well, he gets a "roar of applause" from the men who have just abandoned him, it proves that Agamemnon has once again returned to his full glory as Basileus.
