Agamemnon, Conqueror of Troy, First among the Lords of Achaea, could not believe his misfortune, his own properly neglected wife seeking his neck with his own sword. So he blurted, “Zeus, do not forsake me but wing me away on my still downy wings of victory to some place where men know the good fortune of gods…”
Similac didn’t taste as good as Corinthian wine, the crash of steel trucks hauling mountains of trash was harsh and ugly next to the proper din of iron and bronze clashing across shielded ranks—but skittles were a darn sight tastier than olives and taking some less well-connected playa’s bitch was as simple as it ever was…

Happily Ever Under: The History of the Sexes According to Jack and Jill
Reminds me of one of my favorite ppodcasts, Literature and History:
literatureandhistory.libsyn.com/rss
Each episode goes through a great literary work, describes some of the historical context of the time of the writing, and ends with a goofy song.
The episode regarding Agamemnon's homecoming was episode 27:
