Summary
Agamemnon of Mycenae was his father's greatest disappointed when he was born an Omega. Atreus, in all his power, went to great lengths to ensure his son's status was never known, and Agamemnon has lived his whole life as a Beta.
Witnessing the murder of Prince Troilus in Troy at the hands of the feral and deranged Achilles puts the ever-present danger of Agamemnon's existence into sharp relief mid-way through the war. Agamemnon is plagued with visions of the boy's death and desecration at the same time as he is forced to continue working with Achilles if he has any hope of winning this accursed war.
Prince Hector is not helping Agamemnon's conflicted feelings. Hector, following his discovery of Agamemnon's secret, quickly becomes the Achaean general's rock, his confidant, his lover. Hector becomes everything to this broken man, despite being the one thing he cannot have.
It's too bad Achilles finds a way to take even that away from him as he grows closer to Agamemnon's secrets.
