7	1	Cabot Learns Something of Agamemnon, The Eleventh Face of the Nameless One "If you would accompany me, Warrior," said Peisistratus, "I will conduct you to the audience chamber of Agamemnon, who is the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One".	10
12	62	"You would challenge the will of Agamemnon?" "Agamemnon is astute," said Pyrrhus, "but he knows little of honor.	10
21	12	And would it not be demeaning to you, beloved of Agamemnon, to be caged alone, and I left free?" "I learned from Agamemnon, in the forest, he the metal larl, or within it, somehow, or controlling it, somehow, that you are his human".	10
21	649	"He is defeating Agamemnon by finding such a combat beneath his dignity, by demonstrating his mockery of such an absurd contest, by making it clear to the world that Agamemnon, in assuming this body and arrogating to himself its advantages, has abandoned all pretence to, or claim to, honor".	10
69	97	"Then he cried, 'Down with Agamemnon!'" "The great voice of Agamemnon then rang out," said a Kur.	10
69	116	"When it was clear that Agamemnon was no longer in power, that this reversal had come about, the enemy put up its arms, for their foe, you see, was not we, the folk, but he who had been the misleader and tyrant of the folk, Lord Agamemnon.	10
5	44	When necessary, we shall refer to the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, not inappropriately we trust, by the name of a powerful war leader and king, Agamemnon.	10
5	45	The Agamemnon of whose name we have availed ourselves may, as we understand it, have been mythical.	10
6	14	Why? Where is Zarendargar? Who is Agamemnon? What is a Nameless One? What is the Eleventh Face of a Nameless One? How are there humans here? What do you do with them? Who are your confederates? How many have you? How do they figure in your plans? There is purpose in all this, I am sure.	10
7	15	"It is supposed that I may be of assistance in your meeting with the noble and exalted Agamemnon, the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One.	10
7	17	"Agamemnon is Kur?" "I am not sure," said Peisistratus.	10
7	34	"How is this Agamemnon the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One?" asked Cabot.	10
7	37	"And Agamemnon?" "Is one of the faces of the Nameless One," said Peisistratus.	10
7	40	"Many Kurii believe such things, and, I fear, so, too, does Agamemnon".	10
8	1	An Interview with Agamemnon, The Eleventh Face of the Nameless One "Where is he?" asked Cabot.	10
8	35	"Behold," came from a translator, presumably that of one of the beasts flanking the object on the dais, "Agamemnon, The Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World".	10
8	71	"Yes, free, how unfortunate," said Agamemnon, either from within the device, or somehow, in communication with it.	10
8	73	"And would she not look well in a collar, as well?" inquired Agamemnon.	10
8	79	"As we understand it," said Agamemnon, "both of those females were of a sort likely to be sexually stimulating to a human male".	10
8	81	"How cruel are the Priest-Kings," said Agamemnon.	10
8	83	"Up to the point of your release," said Agamemnon.	10
8	89	"I see," said Agamemnon.	10
8	91	"It was our hope that you would be pleased," said Agamemnon.	10
8	93	"I understand," said Agamemnon, "you have been inadequately housed".	10
8	95	"Better quarters will soon be arranged," said Agamemnon.	10
8	98	"And my dear Peisistratus," said Agamemnon, "you could, if need be, could you not, arrange for some feminine companionship for our friend, Tarl Cabot?" "Certainly," said Peisistratus.	10
8	110	"How wise you are," said Agamemnon.	10
8	115	"To us," said Agamemnon, "he is hideous.	10
8	118	"Yes, but you are human," said Agamemnon, "and what is appropriate for you is not appropriate for a different life form".	10
8	120	"Not to Kurii," said Agamemnon.	10
8	122	"Some humans find the appearance of Kurii frightening," said Agamemnon.	10
8	126	"But, unfortunately," said Agamemnon, "that seems not the case".	10
8	132	"In any event," said Agamemnon, "human males tend to be uneasy in his presence, and human females cry out and withdraw, often screaming and sobbing, to the length of their chains".	10
8	134	"So our experiment proved unsuccessful," said Agamemnon, "and we realized we must rethink matters".	10
8	136	"Some, surely," said Agamemnon, "but not thousands, not armies".	10
8	137	"You wish armies?" "Divisions, regiments," said Agamemnon.	10
8	138	"To destroy Priest-Kings and seize Gor?" "To free Gor," said Agamemnon.	10
8	140	"And to labor on behalf of humans, our oppressed brothers," said Agamemnon, "to liberate them from the tyranny of Priest-Kings".	10
8	142	"Too," said Agamemnon, "our human allies would not be forgotten in the morning of our victory, but would be well repaid for their efforts, efforts which, in large part, were exerted on their own behalf".	10
8	145	"Kurii can be generous," said Agamemnon.	10
8	148	"Certainly," said Agamemnon.	10
8	149	"A world?" "Perhaps two," said Agamemnon.	10
8	153	"Certainly," said Agamemnon.	10
8	155	"I see that you are interested," said Agamemnon.	10
8	156	"Who would not be?" "Kurii must be involved subtly in these campaigns, at least at first," said Agamemnon.	10
8	160	"On the Steel Worlds, as well," said Agamemnon.	10
8	163	"And what would take place on this morning of victory?" "Gor would belong not to Priest-Kings," said Agamemnon, "but to humans".	10
8	164	"And Kurii?" "We would expect some land to be set aside for us, to be reserved for our use," said Agamemnon.	10
8	166	"We can do with harder countries than humans," said Agamemnon, "with less arable soils, with wastelands, with mountainous areas, with desolate latitudes, arid and rocky, latitudes unfriendly to humans, with deserts, and such, areas of less interest to humans".	10
8	168	"Yes," said Agamemnon.	10
8	172	"An excellent question," said Agamemnon, "one I can well understand and appreciate, and one which reflects well on your caution and astuteness".	10
8	176	"I see you are taken aback," said Agamemnon.	10
8	178	"We anticipated it would be so," said Agamemnon.	10
8	184	"Yes," said Agamemnon.	10
8	186	"Doubtless in time," said Agamemnon.	10
8	190	Where is she?" One of the Kurii flanking the metal object on the dais spoke softly to Agamemnon, or the machine through which he spoke.	10
8	192	"She is well," said Agamemnon.	10
8	200	"By all means," said Agamemnon.	10
8	203	"What is your decision, Tarl Cabot?" inquired Agamemnon.	10
8	205	"Of course," said Agamemnon.	10
9	52	"Agamemnon is planning on giving her to you".	10
10	1	Cabot Renews his Acquaintance with the Former Miss Pym "This," said Peisistratus, "is the portal to the apartment of Pyrrhus, subordinate to Arcesilaus, officer to Agamemnon".	10
10	86	"You have seen Agamemnon?" he asked.	10
10	127	"Did Agamemnon, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the world, give him permission to come here?" came from Pyrrhus' translator.	10
10	128	Cabot wondered if this elaboration of Agamemnon's title was intended to be ironic.	10
10	233	"I think," said Peisistratus, "it has to do with Agamemnon".	10
10	255	"You are muchly favored of Agamemnon," said Pyrrhus.	10
10	290	"Because," said Peisistratus, "Pyrrhus is not in favor with Agamemnon".	10
11	18	"Agamemnon, too, will then be pleased".	10
11	36	"Strangers?" "Officers of Agamemnon," said Peisistratus.	10
11	46	"You encountered them in the audience hall of Agamemnon," said Peisistratus.	10
11	87	"I do not mean to be importunate," said Peisistratus, "but Agamemnon is curious to know if you have reached a decision with respect to his proposal".	10
11	248	"Agamemnon could easily arrange for her to be brought to you," said Peisistratus.	10
11	262	"He was removed from the domain of Agamemnon, under custody, seven days ago".	10
11	265	"He was intent to rescue a friend, with whom it is told he had once shared paga, to save him from death or dishonor at the hands of Priest-Kings, a noble endeavor, but instead he brought him unwittingly into the grasp of Agamemnon".	10
11	268	"Agamemnon will want his answer soon," said Peisistratus.	10
12	7	The forest world associated with the Steel World under the governance of Agamemnon is something in the neighborhood of one hundred square pasangs.	10
12	52	"You do not approve of the plan of Agamemnon, I gather," said Cabot, "to utilize humans in the conquest of Gor".	10
12	56	"Agamemnon, I gather," said Cabot, "does not know I am here".	10
12	75	"But it evidences the astuteness of Agamemnon".	10
12	94	"And thus the plans of Agamemnon will be frustrated?" "For now," said Pyrrhus.	10
18	259	"You hunt on behalf of Lord Pyrrhus, who is foe to Agamemnon".	10
19	126	"Hail Agamemnon, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World," came from a translator, and the Kurii knelt, each on a single knee.	10
19	134	"I am well, Lord Agamemnon," said Cabot.	10
20	10	Other testimony had made it clear that Lord Pyrrhus had returned from the sport cylinder without Tarl Cabot, and that, later, a hunting party of eight Kurii, three of whom were womb brothers, and two of whom were egg brothers, to Lord Pyrrhus had entered the sport world with sleen, and had been arre...	10
20	18	The body of Agamemnon, in this instance, Cabot supposed, was in effect the courtroom itself.	10
20	19	He had little doubt that Agamemnon, wherever he might be ensconced, could see as well as hear the proceedings.	10
20	22	"One fact is clear, at least," said the prosecutor, "that a tunic, bestowed upon you in accordance with the largesse of Lord Agamemnon, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World, was in the possession of the hunting party by which you were endangered, a tunic used to set sleen upon yo...	10
20	86	"Agamemnon may not have his majority," said Peisistratus, looking about the tiers.	10
20	93	"Then it matters little?" "It matters nothing, save for your interest to Agamemnon," said Peisistratus.	10
20	94	"Your testimony clouded matters for Agamemnon.	10
20	106	"I do not think," said Peisistratus, scanning the tiers, "that Lord Agamemnon will have his needful numbers".	10
20	217	"You need only say the word and Agamemnon would give her to you, or any other who might please you".	10
20	218	"Lord Agamemnon is generous," said Cabot.	10
20	219	"Have you pondered the offer of Agamemnon, proposed to you in the palace?" inquired Peisistratus.	10
20	246	"Of Lord Agamemnon?" "Yes.	10
20	321	"Agamemnon awaits your answer," said Peisistratus, looking upward, after Cabot.	10
21	16	"Does Agamemnon know that?" "No," said Peisistratus.	10
21	74	"It is here that Lord Pyrrhus will attest his innocence against Agamemnon, Kur to Kur".	10
21	77	"Agamemnon must be courageous indeed to face such a foe".	10
21	264	"When," asked Cabot, "will Lord Pyrrhus and Lord Agamemnon meet, Kur to Kur?" "Presently," said Peisistratus.	10
21	326	"Besides, your life, at this point, is still of interest to Agamemnon".	10
21	522	"Agamemnon?" "Doubtless," said Peisistratus.	10
21	571	"In the falling of darkness I see the hand of Agamemnon," said Peisistratus.	10
21	589	"Agamemnon grows impatient for your answer," said Peisistratus.	10
21	611	Agamemnon is not without courage to face such an enemy, Kur to Kur".	10
21	618	"Agamemnon himself will do battle, Kur to Kur," said Peisistratus.	10
21	630	"It is a body of Agamemnon," said Peisistratus, dryly.	10
21	644	"To be sure," said Cabot, angrily, "what could he do?" "Agamemnon wants him to struggle, to strike even against the metal, to howl, to scratch at the plates, however futilely".	10
21	660	"He is showing his contempt for Agamemnon," said Peisistratus.	10
21	665	And then Agamemnon cast the body from him, and turned about, and left the arena.	10
21	672	"Agamemnon will be dissatisfied with this," said Peisistratus.	10
22	246	"I am to inform Agamemnon that you decline his offer?" "You may do whatever you wish," said Cabot.	10
23	136	"You have displeased Agamemnon," she cried.	10
23	138	"Not permitted to die in the arena?" "Certainly not, not with honor, but in some lengthy, degraded fashion, one fit to satisfy the affronted pride of Agamemnon".	10
23	141	"Yes," said Cabot, "but a fool for honor is a fool with honor, and better such a fool than Agamemnon in all his shrewdness and cunning, in all his wisdom and astuteness".	10
24	25	"She was taken from me, by the command of the Eleventh face of the Nameless One, Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World".	10
24	28	"I am a free woman! It was so said, and said by him, he himself, the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World!" "Then how are you here?" asked Cabot.	10
24	41	"The common enemy," said Grendel, "is Agamemnon.	10
24	51	"It would be better if I did so," said Grendel to Cabot, "for Agamemnon has conceived a thousand variations of a thousand deaths for you".	10
24	123	Agamemnon, I suspect, will strike first, to rid himself of possible rivals".	10
24	155	"You would decline the offer of Agamemnon, to arm and lead the humans of Earth against the Sardar," said Grendel.	10
24	162	"He is the human of Agamemnon," said Cabot.	10
24	165	"Those who would overthrow Agamemnon," said Grendel.	10
26	11	It was clear in our conversation, to me, and to the monitors, that you would frustrate the will of Agamemnon, a will unwise to frustrate.	10
26	118	"I wonder," said Cabot, regarding Peisistratus narrowly, "if you are one of Agamemnon's humans".	10
26	172	"Certainly his small, well-formed companion, the small, sleek beast of which he is so unconscionably fond, has the coin of advantage and survival well in hand, information of importance to Agamemnon, and would spend it instantly to procure not only her life but his favor".	10
26	187	"Agamemnon may be biding his time," said Peisistratus to Cabot.	10
26	209	"I wonder," said Cabot, "if you are the human of Agamemnon".	10
28	71	"It could be," said Peisistratus, "that Agamemnon is unsure of the extent of the conspiracy, and will thus wait for the return of the fleet".	10
31	76	"He was present at the trial of Lord Pyrrhus," said Cabot, "and might well have seen the strings of rubies given to me by Agamemnon, which I wore over my robes".	10
32	72	She was unfamiliar with the cumbersome intricacies of the usual Robes of Concealment, their arranged foldings, the abundant drapings, and such, which vary from city to city, but she had simulated something akin to them, doubtless with the aid of Grendel, who would have been familiar with such things...	10
32	439	"Think! We know much that would be of value to Lord Agamemnon.	10
32	503	"Let us hasten to Agamemnon!" "I am weary," said Cabot.	10
32	505	"You refuse to kill Grendel? You refuse to accompany me to Agamemnon?" "Yes," said Cabot.	10
33	32	"She might have made contact with Agamemnon's people within Ahn of her flight," said Cabot.	10
33	56	"Indeed, by now the world may be abundantly repopulated, with numerous reinforcements for Agamemnon, the fleet having returned".	10
33	295	"It is a body of the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said Grendel, "a body of Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World".	10
34	4	"How could the behemoth body of Agamemnon have been brought to the lake?" asked Cabot.	10
34	8	"And Agamemnon came to it?" "Or was brought to it," said Grendel.	10
34	11	"Agamemnon is Kur, surely," said Cabot.	10
34	34	The small tunic afforded negligible warmth, and it was still wet, as was her hair, from the events of an Ahn earlier, those in which they had been so grievously imperiled, only to be succored unexpectedly by Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World, or by means of a body under his control.	10
34	93	"Doubtless Agamemnon did not suppose the cold was any longer needed," said Grendel.	10
34	213	"Lord Grendel speculates that Agamemnon trusts that cold is no longer necessary to his plans, and thus, one supposes, that the temperature of the world may be returned to an equable level, one suitable for this season of the cylinder year".	10
34	214	"Agamemnon?" "The cold, the storm," said Cabot, "may have been manufactured".	10
34	221	"If Agamemnon wished to kill us," said Cabot, "he could have done so on the lake, with the aquatic machine".	10
34	228	"She would have importuned Agamemnon to have us saved upon the lake?" "Or one of us," said Grendel.	10
34	233	"But surely Agamemnon wants us both dead," said Cabot.	10
34	235	"It is speculation on my part that Lady Bina intervened with Agamemnon to protect you on the lake.	10
34	244	"And the storm then would seem something in which Agamemnon had no hand, and which could not have been predicted, or defended against".	10
34	253	"And thus I suspect we were to be finished in the storm," he said, "seemingly as the unfortunate consequence of an unforeseen accident, and thus without any compromise whatsoever to future services which the Lady Bina might render to Agamemnon".	10
34	254	"Then Agamemnon believes we are dead?" said Cabot.	10
35	102	"Agamemnon has lost.	10
35	119	"Agamemnon's ambition has doomed the world".	10
35	132	"When soldiers of Agamemnon set forth upon intelligence furnished to them, to ensnare and punish conspirators, they dared delay no longer".	10
36	162	"You will fight against Agamemnon," came from the translator.	10
36	356	Cabot would take few supplies with him, as he expected foraging would be available, and he retained, as well, some of the coins won from Peisistratus, and, of course, the rubies he had originally been given by Lord Agamemnon, prior to the trial of Lord Pyrrhus.	10
37	22	Indeed, in some of these camps, dangling bodies could be discerned, where some Kurii, perhaps anticipating the wrath of Lord Agamemnon, had hung themselves in shame.	10
37	27	How will Master know these from the minions and cohorts of Lord Agamemnon?" "There must be ensigns of some sort," said Cabot, "arm bands, flags, scarves, something, if only for the benefit of enlisted humans, to discriminate amongst the striving factions".	10
37	28	"All humans would be foes of Lord Agamemnon," she said.	10
38	17	"That, I gather," said Cabot, "is the identifying ensign of the forces of Agamemnon".	10
39	8	He gathered, as was the case, the revolution was failing, the revolutionists being heavily outnumbered, and then, in their scattered, defeated, retreating groups, being punished back into a number of isolated, improvised strongholds, which might then be dealt with, one by one, almost at their leisur...	10
39	83	In the world of Agamemnon the great bow of the Gorean peasant would have been learned.	10
40	119	"Intelligence has been brought to Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel.	10
40	131	"Agamemnon, I am sure," said Lord Grendel, "if perceiving himself adequately threatened, would not hesitate to destroy this world".	10
40	135	"If Agamemnon wins, then," said Cabot, "he wins, and if he loses, too, he wins".	10
40	162	"Agamemnon must be prevented from reaching the vaults," said Cabot.	10
40	166	Again and again, in a metallic, droning, reverberating Kur, the message of Agamemnon resounded, again and again in the cylinder.	10
41	58	"It would indicate, I suppose," said Cabot, "that Lord Agamemnon is concerned with the revolution, that he takes it seriously, truly, and that he recognizes that its humans may pose some threat to his forces, that their opposition is not negligible".	10
41	59	"Lord Agamemnon is afraid?" asked the slave.	10
42	79	"Lord Agamemnon, it seems," said Cabot, "has a sense of humor.	10
43	3	"You do not understand! I am not to die! The others, not I! I am favored of Lord Agamemnon! I am high in the world! I am Ubara, Ubara!" These noises, of course, would be unintelligible to any Kur who lacked an activated translator.	10
43	40	"I am favored of Lord Agamemnon!" she cried.	10
43	52	"She is favored of Lord Agamemnon," cried Cabot, desperately, "Eleventh face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World".	10
43	124	"So proclaimed by Lord Agamemnon himself," she said.	10
43	166	"I was betrayed by Lord Agamemnon," she said.	10
43	235	"She might run to the purple scarves, and seek to ingratiate herself once more with Agamemnon, swearing her fealty to him, perhaps bartering for power with our plans and positions," said Cabot.	10
43	237	"The ensigns of those loyal to Agamemnon," said Cabot, watching her.	10
43	255	"I would think so," said Lord Grendel, "as that would improve the joke, Lord Agamemnon rewarding her with riches of little interest to himself, and then placing her naked in the pens.	10
43	256	Thus she was genuinely rewarded with wealth, perhaps as promised, and then, afterwards, treated as Lord Agamemnon thought appropriate".	10
43	437	"To you, to you, to the allies, to Lord Peisistratus, to Lord Arcesilaus, to the foes of Agamemnon, to the revolution!" she said.	10
43	441	"Surely the tiara on your brow," said Cabot, "makes it clear you were favored by Lord Agamemnon".	10
43	456	If Agamemnon is successful, humans may yet be permitted to live, and serve, in the world, and I myself will speak on your behalf, to win you pardon for your crime against the world".	10
43	458	"Your treason to Lord Agamemnon!" she cried.	10
44	21	"Lord Agamemnon?" said Cabot.	10
44	39	Certainly they had managed to bring humans from the sport cylinder into Agamemnon's cylinder, the main world, and had released, for better or for worse, the killer humans from their cages and training areas.	10
44	270	"Sometimes I fear Lord Agamemnon is wisest," said Cabot.	10
44	279	"The forces of Lord Agamemnon are deployed in defense, for the world is under attack.	10
45	7	Too, should you escape from us, its note could easily be detected by those of the purple scarves, who would, following the edict of Lord Agamemnon, as you are human, kill you on sight".	10
45	117	"Had we a hundred like him I would attempt the palace of Agamemnon itself".	10
46	11	"Few," said Cabot, "have penetrated as deeply into the territory of Agamemnon, and returned to report".	10
46	65	"Agamemnon," said Cabot, "is cruel, arbitrary, unjust, a vain and murderous tyrant, perhaps even mad.	10
46	114	"What if Agamemnon dies?" asked Cabot.	10
46	120	"Agamemnon is mortal," said Cabot.	10
46	124	"But perhaps," said Cabot, "Agamemnon is not the Eleventh Face of the Nameless one.	10
46	129	"But Agamemnon has himself pronounced that he is the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said another.	10
46	130	"Agamemnon!" said Cabot.	10
46	139	"Perhaps Agamemnon is more inventive, or enterprising, or less honorable, or bolder, or more daring, than you suppose," said Cabot.	10
46	155	Agamemnon's aerial scouts utilized these conveniences, until flight became possible.	10
46	160	This would be the arsenal nearest the habitats, that nearest, as well, the palace, and enclave, of Agamemnon.	10
46	162	"It is from it that Agamemnon has armed his minions".	10
46	194	"And who will attempt the arsenal of Agamemnon?" asked a Kur.	10
47	1	How the Tarns of Victory Came to Surmount the Standards of Agamemnon It was a long, weird cry, from Cabot's left, and he reached out his hand, wildly, but could not grasp the outstretched, clutching hand of the human, one from the cages, to his left.	10
47	25	It must be possible, somehow! Agamemnon, Cabot was sure, in the dark gaming of war, had not anticipated humans intruding into this fearsome venue.	10
47	52	"Hail Agamemnon," thought Cabot, bitterly, "Theocrat of the World, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One.	10
47	76	We thought Agamemnon's minions were overconfident, unsuspecting, otherwise deployed.	10
47	107	"It will not be only Agamemnon who can arrange surprises," said Cabot, grimly.	10
47	119	He also heard a rattle of chain, and gathered that his friends were to be conducted back, securely tethered, to the mercies of Agamemnon.	10
47	161	"Agamemnon will have us killed, if we return without the weapons".	10
47	184	"Agamemnon would have killed you, instantly, without a thought," said Cabot.	10
47	193	"You believe Agamemnon to have been informed of our plans?" "Certainly," said Grendel.	10
47	198	"Agamemnon is shrewd," said Cabot.	10
47	212	"Agamemnon might have foreseen such an attack," said Cabot.	10
47	215	It was only after the escape of the Lady Bina, and shortly prior to our attack, that it seemed to change, as though Agamemnon had decided at last, in virtue of our weakness, that such precautions were no longer necessary".	10
47	219	"It would not be the first time she has betrayed Kurii and others to Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel.	10
47	221	"Even now," said Lord Grendel, "in robes and veils of beauty, she doubtless banquets with Agamemnon".	10
47	234	"Perhaps," said Statius, "when, at the side of Agamemnon, in regalia, a tiara upon her brow, she presides over a thousand executions, those of our fellows, Kur and human, you might be convinced".	10
48	4	The world rang with the words of Agamemnon, pronouncing peace and amnesty.	10
48	15	Hundreds, both Kur and human, had responded to the conciliations offered by Agamemnon.	10
48	18	"Agamemnon has hundreds," said a Kur.	10
48	25	It had then been decided, shortly after the defeats of the preceding days, on a variety of fronts, that eight of the several groups, of which Lord Grendel's was one, would have one weapon apiece, this at least, hopefully, acting as some deterrent for several of the groups, or bands, against a too ra...	10
48	45	"Agamemnon is tired of war," said another.	10
50	1	The Hand of Agamemnon is Played, But Perhaps Not Wisely "I am thinking," said Cabot to Lita, "of having you conducted to the theater of amnesty, in the habitats, where you might be spared, as the goods you are, later with others to be distributed or sold".	10
50	91	"Joined, for the pledging of blood and honor to Agamemnon".	10
50	98	"That is the amnesty of Agamemnon," said a Kur.	10
50	99	"In that cauldron," said a Kur, "would have been brethren, folk of our camp, who fought with us, our brothers, who trusted the word of Agamemnon".	10
50	128	"It would be the way of Agamemnon," said a Kur.	10
50	157	"I believe Lord Agamemnon has made his first, and greatest, mistake," said Grendel.	10
51	15	"It is possible he was discovered, and then captured, and returned to Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel.	10
51	27	"He wishes to be of greater value to Agamemnon than that.	10
51	172	How else could it have been managed? And he sent her ahead to Agamemnon, doubtless with signs, and countersigns.	10
51	175	"And she now stands high with Agamemnon?" "Doubtless," said Lord Grendel.	10
52	6	"The rebellion having been crushed," said Lord Grendel, "Agamemnon can return his attention to the affairs of state".	10
52	9	As may be recalled, the defeated forces of Agamemnon, the mariners who returned in the remnants of his ruined fleet, following his catastrophic, ill-starred attack on another of the worlds, had been denied access to the habitats.	10
52	19	"Agamemnon was not defending the world," said Cabot.	10
52	23	"Agamemnon is the rival amongst the worlds of a great general, and vies to be first amongst the worlds, the leader of the several worlds".	10
52	25	"Yes," said Grendel, "but one was most feared by Agamemnon, one whom he wished to deal with first, one whom he long pretended to befriend, but one whom he suspected well comprehended his ambitions and machinations, one whom he then conveyed from the world, ignominiously, daring to do no more at the ...	10
53	65	If she approaches the Kurii of Agamemnon they have no interest in her as a slave.	10
55	3	To be sure, the groups were now muchly reduced, for many of the opposition to Lord Agamemnon had availed themselves, ultimately to their sorrow, of the proffered amnesty.	10
55	65	"I do not doubt they cull the herds when hungry, as would the minions of Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel, "but I think they are otherwise intent at the moment".	10
55	186	"Yes," said Cabot, "and I trust you remember all this, should the Lady Bina be snatched from the side of Agamemnon, and come into our power".	10
55	251	"I would have thought rather that she would have been silked, bejeweled, and veiled, and regally ensconced at the side of Agamemnon".	10
56	12	"I do not doubt that Agamemnon is a genius," said Lord Grendel.	10
56	33	"I trust, too," said Lord Grendel, "you are aware of certain resonances here which would be savored by Lord Agamemnon".	10
56	35	"Flavion and Agamemnon, it seems," said Lord Grendel, "could not resist having their moment of theatricality".	10
56	48	"They will provide little protection," said Archon, "if the minions of Agamemnon stand over them, or enter them, filling them with fire".	10
56	69	"If I were Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel, "I would in my arrangements lighten the world somewhat but, on the whole, keep it rather dark.	10
56	76	The forces of Agamemnon, forewarned, had, at a signal, it was later determined, closed or covered their eyes, opening them, adjusted as they had been for the darkness, a moment later, and opened fire.	10
56	77	It had taken the forces of Agamemnon a moment after the blast of light to align their weapons and begin to empty a thousand charges into the valley, but, to their amazement, a moment later, it seemed that the valley was empty.	10
56	81	"Grendel, are you here? Where are you?" "We must congratulate Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel.	10
56	87	"What a splendid enemy is Agamemnon!" said Lord Grendel, rapturously.	10
56	113	"That is not the voice of Agamemnon," said Cabot.	10
56	119	The voice, as it turned out, was that of one of Agamemnon's high lieutenants, that of he whom, for convenience of reference in Gorean, we named Lucullus.	10
56	121	It was a summons for the rebels to surrender instantly, submit to the chains of prisoners, and await the mercy of Lord Agamemnon.	10
56	127	"This generous offer, I suspect, is motivated less by considerations of tactics, mercy, or military courtesy, than the desire to bring us helplessly and humiliatingly before Agamemnon's tribunal of retribution".	10
56	132	"My dear Statius," said Lord Grendel, "there are sophisticated tortures available to Agamemnon to which even a Kur might object".	10
56	139	"Perhaps it would be churlish," said Statius, "to deny Agamemnon his pleasures".	10
56	180	Dear Cabot, you were successful! The minions of Agamemnon are only now aware that there are others behind them".	10
56	195	Lord Agamemnon is now on the defensive.	10
56	205	Who better in such a cause than a human warrior to bear to Kur warriors the ring of Arcesilaus, mightiest of Kurii, mightiest of the foes of Agamemnon?" "I think," said Cabot, ruefully, "that they might have been shamed to face a fellow Kur in such role, one still with pride and status, who did not ...	10
56	221	The Kurii of Agamemnon had not only been taken unawares, but had been found themselves trapped between the fleet's survivors and the forces under the command of Lord Grendel.	10
56	255	"I, too, of course," said Statius, "but who else would do so?" "I believe Lord Lucullus commanded the forces of Agamemnon," said Lord Grendel.	10
56	262	He had brought his four ships, damaged as they were, back to the world, that they not be lost to Agamemnon's navy.	10
56	276	With the departure of Mitonicus, we are unable to force our war to a favorable resolution, but, too, I think that Agamemnon, as well, now lacks the power to dislodge us from our retreats.	10
57	9	"But Agamemnon would surely follow up his victory and press a determined, vengeful pursuit".	10
57	26	"Slaughter befell, but it was upon the minions of Agamemnon".	10
57	44	Unnoted, I ascended the rim of the vale, where, to my horror, I saw minions of Agamemnon, countless minions, converging on our position! I was cut off! I could not return to warn you! Discovered, I fought and slew six enemies, but, turning, saw what could only be the initiation of a most complete an...	10
57	55	"Many of those of Agamemnon," said Archon.	10
57	68	"We were surprised in the Vale of Destruction! Agamemnon must have had intelligence of our plans".	10
57	102	"She betrayed Peisistratus and Lord Arcesilaus, and doubtless others, to Agamemnon, long ago.	10
57	103	Then, escaped from the camp, she betrayed the attack on the arsenal, that encompassing the slaughter of so many of our brothers, and then, clearly, returning, spying, she must have somehow become apprised of our plans involving the palace, and the Vale of Destruction, and betrayed those to Agamemnon...	10
57	122	"Might she not, under torture, as she is seemingly a valued and esteemed agent of great Agamemnon," said Cabot, "be encouraged to betray his secrets?" "She is human," said Flavion.	10
57	157	"Doubtless, by now, she has perished of exposure, or starved, or fallen to wild animals, or has been killed by Agamemnon's Kurii, for they had orders to fire on all humans".	10
58	3	"As I understand it," said Grendel, "I am to be betrayed into the hands of Agamemnon's agents".	10
58	11	"It is the view of Agamemnon that without you the revolution will fail".	10
58	14	"And what are you to gain from all this?" "Incidentally, a meaningless slave, of course," said Cabot, "but more importantly the favor of Agamemnon, riches, power on Gor, such things".	10
60	11	Great Agamemnon, in an act of seeming mercy, has called them to the theater, that of death, where they expect to be forgiven, and their penalties revoked, merely for joining his forces".	10
60	25	"In their numbers they could balance the very forces of Agamemnon, which are intent upon their destruction".	10
60	27	"If they are spared, Agamemnon will be invincible.	10
60	43	The only thing clear is that we must surrender our cause, and place ourselves at the mercy of Agamemnon".	10
60	65	"At the arsenal, dear Grendel, you spared two agents of Agamemnon, allowing them to return to their base with weapons, in the Vale of Destruction you permitted a tending of enemy wounded, after the battle you freed four hundred prisoners".	10
60	72	"Let us cast down our weapons, emerge from the forests, and place ourselves before great Agamemnon," said Flavion.	10
60	103	"Agamemnon has withdrawn to the habitats, and the palace!" said the runner, who then collapsed, shuddering, into the arms of the two Kurii who supported him.	10
61	7	The outcome of the conflict betwixt Agamemnon and his adversaries would be decided in the world.	10
61	12	Who would risk a door-to-door, habitat-to-habitat, war?" "Agamemnon, if he were in your position, and had the forces," said Cabot.	10
61	22	"Or a mad rush to certain death, either on our part or on that of Agamemnon".	10
61	23	"Agamemnon will not order such a charge," said Lord Grendel, "as he, in his wisdom, would well understand not only its futility, but its implicit fatality, the doom to which it would subject his own cause".	10
61	34	"Agamemnon is impatient," said Lord Grendel.	10
61	119	"And that," said Statius, "would guarantee the victory of Lord Agamemnon".	10
61	141	"And Agamemnon is Kur," said Lord Grendel.	10
62	14	"Had the secret march been undertaken, victory would have been Agamemnon's.	10
62	31	"Agamemnon is impatient?" said Cabot.	10
62	38	"Only you know my allegiance to Agamemnon," said Flavion.	10
63	69	"She must be making her way to the lines of Agamemnon," said Flavion, "for she was his human".	10
63	73	"Who knows what she might have been promised?" "Of what use could she now be to Agamemnon?" asked a Kur.	10
63	83	And what purpose could that be? "Of what use could she now be to Agamemnon?" had asked a Kur.	10
63	115	"This is about Lord Grendel! The herd is cover! Mingled in that herd will be the minions of Agamemnon!" Cabot then scrambled over the parapet, and began to run, wildly, toward the herd.	10
63	117	"Do not follow him! Remain here!" Concealed amongst the cattle humans were somewhere between twenty and twenty-five Kurii, these picked minions of the elite of Lord Agamemnon's forces, each armed with a power weapon.	10
63	119	We might suppose that given the odds involved and the importance of Lord Grendel that the Kurii of Agamemnon would have been charged with his capture, that he might be later exhibited and dealt with according to the dictates of the war and day, but it seems they had no such charge.	10
63	125	The leader of the cattle humans, of course, was not privy to the machinations of Agamemnon's minions, nor would he have understood their concerns even had they attempted to explain them to him.	10
63	143	Meanwhile, the two foremost of the Kurii of Agamemnon, these first through the cattle humans, intent on their target, and now having isolated it, leveled their weapons.	10
63	145	The Kurii of Agamemnon, concerned with their priorities, were unaware of his presence.	10
63	157	The remains of Agamemnon's Kurii then raised their rifles, but were almost immediately cut down in a withering torrent of flame.	10
64	86	After all, had she not once served Agamemnon? She had thus been overwhelmed with gratitude at having been accorded an opportunity to escape.	10
64	88	Nor did she understand the nature of the cattle humans through which she was to make her way, identified in her tiara, to the lines of Agamemnon, of whose shelter, contrition, gratitude, and affection she had been assured by Flavion.	10
64	89	It is true she had betrayed Peisistratus and Arcesilaus to Lord Agamemnon long ago but the profit she had hoped to accrue from that act had been persuasive, and, of course, although this consideration would do little to mitigate or extenuate the treachery of her act, it might be recalled that she wa...	10
64	109	There, taken before Agamemnon, who had viewed her from one of his bodies, her hands had been pinioned behind her, though she was a free woman, in the shameful, but perfectly effective bracelets of a slave.	10
64	111	There were fewer such sleen, however, than Agamemnon realized, as traps had been set, one of which, we may recall, had snared the giant sleen, Ramar, and, too, humans, and their Kurii, had often defended themselves with vigor, often killing the animals, or, if their scent had not been taken, driving...	10
64	114	It was Flavion's expressed speculation that she had earlier lurked about the camp, and learned the plans for marching on the palace, after first meeting at the Vale of Destruction, and that then she had conveyed these plans to the forces of Agamemnon.	10
64	182	"I would suppose," said Cabot, "that there is a similar unrest amongst the forces of Lord Agamemnon.	10
64	185	"Agamemnon must manage his forces as well as we ours," said Lord Grendel, "and he will be subject to similar influences and pressures".	10
64	201	It will be of Agamemnon himself".	10
64	202	Shortly after this conversation, indeed, the next day, the nature of Agamemnon's initiative became clear.	10
65	10	"It is not clear he is in the power of Agamemnon," said a Kur.	10
65	51	"Surely, Lord Grendel," said Cabot, "you will not betray humans, and the Lady Bina amongst them, to the vengeance of the minions of Lord Agamemnon".	10
65	56	What, then, is to prevent Lord Agamemnon from killing Lord Arcesilaus?" "Nothing," said a Kur.	10
65	63	"I suspect," said Statius, "Agamemnon does not have Lord Arcesilaus".	10
65	75	"Lord Agamemnon, Eleventh face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World," said their leader, "has Lord Arcesilaus in his power".	10
66	38	"Must we instantly gratify Lord Agamemnon? I, for one, would not care to do so.	10
66	39	And what will Lord Agamemnon do, if we wait? His forces are doubtless as anxious as ours to bring our conflict to a favorable resolution.	10
66	40	May they not eventually swarm forth as irrationally as many of you seem to propose to do, and might not they then, rather than us, be cut down in the intervening fields?" "Waiting would disconcert Agamemnon, at least," said Lord Grendel.	10
66	45	"Agamemnon will be angry," said a Kur.	10
66	102	"In weather such as this," said Cabot, "the forces of Agamemnon might well advance, seeking cover in the storm".	10
66	114	"Agamemnon's patience is at an end," said Peisistratus.	10
67	2	It was a demand of Lord Agamemnon that all power weapons of insurrectionists be defused, gathered together, and destroyed.	10
67	8	"Agamemnon has won," had said Lord Grendel, resignedly.	10
67	40	If there were to be such messages he would have expected them to be, say, warnings to Kur loyalists, even nondominants, to beware of humans, or renegades, or calls to humans, or others, if there were others, to come in and surrender, perhaps to be spared for lowly services, groomings, and such, or, ...	10
67	92	The unnatural winter, Cabot supposed, had cessitated, as it was now no longer necessary, or, perhaps better, useful, given Agamemnon's victory.	10
68	39	"Agamemnon," said the first Kur, "was the greatest of all Kurii.	10
68	41	"Hail Agamemnon," said the second, reverently.	10
69	60	"With Agamemnon?" said Cabot.	10
69	61	"We do not think Agamemnon is any longer in the palace," said Peisistratus.	10
69	70	"Agamemnon has fallen, not the world," said a Kur.	10
69	98	"'Kill them, kill them all!'" "'Fire!'" called out Lucullus, high captain to Agamemnon, who stood near Arcesilaus, amongst his many guards and jailers.	10
69	99	"'Fire!'" cried Crassus, as well, high lieutenant to Agamemnon.	10
69	103	"'Fire, fire, fire!' called Agamemnon," said another Kur, "but none fired, and it became clear, moment by moment, that none would do so".	10
69	112	"But then terror seized all," said another, "for locks were blown and swarming into the world, to the rolling of drums and the blast of war horns, from a hundred ports, were warriors from the world which Agamemnon had menaced, and whose fleet, so beautifully generaled, had decimated ours".	10
69	117	Their war, it seems, was not with us, at all, but with our common foe, Lord Agamemnon".	10
69	129	"Thus, Agamemnon, and many of his adherents, escaped".	10
69	130	"Twice," said a Kur, "the world was again in jeopardy, for minions of Agamemnon were surprised in the planting of mighty charges, which, if detonated, would have opened the world to the outside".	10
69	135	"But Agamemnon himself," said a Kur, "would prefer the forfeiture of a world to the loss of a throne".	10
69	141	"Agamemnon is gone?" said Cabot.	10
70	82	Agamemnon and the riches of the world are no longer at your disposal.	10
71	13	Cabot also scratched, in Gorean, on the collar: "I am Flavion, adherent of Agamemnon, traitor to the cause of Lord Arcesilaus".	10
73	2	"Agamemnon," said Lucullus.	10
73	4	"Through these ports," said Crassus, indicating a variety of apertures on the outside of the box, to which wires led, "Agamemnon could utilize his bodies, see and hear through them, speak through them, control them, and so on".	10
73	16	You served Lord Agamemnon well, and it is my hope that you will so serve me".	10
73	21	Once Cabot had worn it about his neck on a string, and he had given it to Mitonicus who, later, had returned it to Lord Arcesilaus, who had been the early champion of the revolution, and the chief conspirator who had brought it to its beginning, before he had been betrayed to Agamemnon by a shapely ...	10
73	60	"What will be done with Agamemnon?" asked Cabot.	10
73	235	"How could both Lord Agamemnon and Lord Arcesilaus be faces of the Nameless One?" "Why not?" said Lord Grendel.	10
73	239	"Agamemnon doubtless viewed his face as rightful and just, as good, if you like, and so, too, though the faces are quite different, does Lord Arcesilaus.	10
77	208	"On Gor," said Flavion, "we will form a new enclave of Kurii, unreconciled adherents of Lord Agamemnon".	10
77	222	"I would suppose that there must be already on Gor some such enclaves as you mention, doubtless established there in the past by Agamemnon, long before the war, to assist in his several projects".	10
80	60	They were former adherents of Lord Agamemnon, and so it is perhaps just as well for the world, that they take their departure".	10
80	61	"Where is Lord Agamemnon?" asked Cabot.	10
81	136	"How is this?" "Agamemnon, and his ambitions, it seems, were of some concern in the Sardar," said Grendel.	10

49	51	It may be recalled, as well, that Agamemnon had desired Grendel, a former hero of the very revolution on the steel world which had dethroned Agamemnon, to return to the steel world and use his station and prestige to influence its support of his schemes on Gor.	10
49	192	Agamemnon's conspiracy then, even without Agamemnon, might still be afoot.	10

41	22	Their coming, weaponless, to the lines of Agamemnon, had been a not inconsiderable blow to the insurgents.	10
41	28	The greatest victory of the insurgents had occurred on the ninth day of the insurrection, when they had managed to trap, attack, and destroy the most recent body of Agamemnon, the large, mobile, crab-like machine which had been, as it turned out, fearsomely effective in the halls.	10
41	32	Agamemnon had sent two of his cohorts forward to scout his path.	10
41	38	The machine, of course, was supported by Kurii loyal to Agamemnon, including Timarchos and Lysymachos, and the ax-bearing Kurii were soon forced to withdraw.	10
41	41	We did not know, after that, whether or not Agamemnon possessed another body.	10
41	196	"There is nothing here," he said, "pertaining to the destruction of Agamemnon".	10
42	3	Three differences, or obvious differences, for I did not know what others might be being enacted privately, were that the container thought by some to be pertinent to the person of Agamemnon was now seldom publicly visible, the men in the Cave had been disarmed, even to knives, and policing in the C...	10
43	38	"How else could he secure the liberty to move about, to organize an opposition, to attempt to frustrate and oppose the dark schemes of Agamemnon?" "I did not know," I whispered.	10
43	40	"Were you conscious of the duplicity you might well have ruined it, behaved suspiciously, gave some revealing sign that might have been noted by the adherents of Agamemnon".	10
43	45	This displeased Agamemnon and his cohorts, who had naturally expected him to ally himself with them, to kill without question, and such.	10
43	47	This aroused suspicion amongst the adherents of Agamemnon.	10
43	51	"Perhaps the patience of Agamemnon and his cohorts was finally exhausted".	10
43	53	Who but Grendel might plausibly, and with a better prospect of success, conduct Agamemnon's embassy to a certain far world?" "A certain far world?" he said.	10
43	87	"Doubtless it was in such a ship," I said, "that he was to be envoyaged to the distant world, one of metal, where he was to plead the cause of Agamemnon, acquire resources, and enlist allies".	10
43	88	"Four times," said Desmond of Harfax, "before the revolt of Lucius, despite the importunities of Agamemnon, Timarchos, Lysymachos, and others, Grendel sought to postpone this journey, meanwhile laboring on our behalf".	10
43	90	"One pretext after another was proposed, each more exasperating to Agamemnon and his adherents than the other.	10
43	93	The movements of Agamemnon have become more guarded, men have been disarmed, and Kurii patrol the Cave and guard the great portal".	10
43	95	"Even with Grendel, and some trust in him by Agamemnon and his cohorts, I fear they would have been impossible".	10
43	105	"Given the suppression of the revolt, and the increased security in the Cave," he said, "the increased suspicion and watchfulness, the fear of further disruption or dissension, the intensified vigilance, our small organization of men, secret and subversive, intent on exposing the machinations of Aga...	10
44	22	I would not fight for Agamemnon, I would not execute those who were foolish enough to avail themselves of the amnesty.	10
44	39	"Returning to the Cave," he said, "I was apprehended, bound, and conducted into the presence of Agamemnon, and confronted with the test".	10
44	49	"The test was a simple one, exquisite, worthy of Agamemnon," said Grendel.	10
44	54	My pretense of being of the party of Agamemnon was proved fraudulent".	10
44	61	"Agamemnon will have to find another envoy to the world of Arcesilaus," he said.	10
44	64	"You have dealt a great blow to the plans of Agamemnon," I said.	10
46	49	First, there was a significant reduction in the displays, usually ceremonial, of the mysterious container which was commonly believed to contain a treasure, most likely of diamonds, but which was understood by some of us to be somehow relevant to the person of Agamemnon himself.	10
46	61	It was difficult to tell whether these impositions and restrictions were rationally justified in terms of intelligence available to Agamemnon and his inner circle or were the fruit of unproductive suspicions carried to the pitch of self-destructive madness.	10
46	62	I supposed much had to do with the recollection of the revolt of Lucius, which had apparently been as unexpected by Agamemnon and his adherents as by the humans in the Cave.	10
46	63	It was my speculation that Agamemnon, helpless and dependent in his metal housing, without a mobile, utilizable body, did not know whom he might trust, and to what extent.	10
46	67	I supposed that a mind as mighty and ambitious as that of Agamemnon, filled with the visions of grandiose ventures, frustrated by its dependence and limitations, encountering reverses, balked in its projects, might incline to irrationality, might slip into madness.	10
47	39	"Desmond of Harfax is to be led down the hall shortly, to the Audience Chamber of Agamemnon.	10
47	94	"To the Audience Chamber of Agamemnon," he said, "Theocrat of the World, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One".	10
47	99	By the time we reached the entrance, I was very much afraid, and not, as before, for those whom a miscreant might betray, but for another, one who had in mind the assassination of Agamemnon, said to be Theocrat of the World, and the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One.	10
48	6	In my account of what followed, it should be understood that the words attributed to Agamemnon might come, and did come, variously, from one or another of the three containers.	10
48	8	It seemed reasonably clear that there could be but one Agamemnon, and so but one housing for that dangerous and mighty mind, but it was not clear in which housing, if any, that mind reposed.	10
48	10	To be sure, their positioning might be intended to divert attention from another container, that truly housing Agamemnon, but, if so, which one might it be? Too, might one not think that a more subtle ruse might be projected? If A seemed most likely, and then one might be led to suppose B or C cruci...	10
48	11	Might there not be indefinite subtleties, one lurking behind the other, in this kaissa of choice? "Tal, Noble Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said Desmond of Harfax.	10
48	12	"It is our understanding," said Agamemnon, "that you have discovered, and have come forward to reveal, a most heinous plot, disrespectful of our majesty, threatening to our person, and inimical to the welfare of worlds".	10
48	14	"Our penchant for mercy is well known on more than one world," said Agamemnon.	10
48	15	"Did we not allow all conspirators twenty Ahn in which to surrender themselves?" "The generosity of your offer was beyond question, Lord Agamemnon," said Desmond of Harfax.	10
48	16	"But, unfortunately," said Agamemnon, "none availed themselves of our gracious offer".	10
48	22	"One sorrows," said Agamemnon.	10
48	24	"True," said Agamemnon.	10
48	29	"But first, great lord," said Desmond of Harfax, "may I approach you more closely?" "No," said Agamemnon.	10
48	31	"Remain where you are," said Agamemnon.	10
48	35	"Of what?" asked Agamemnon.	10
48	37	"Of course," said Agamemnon.	10
48	39	"Agreed," said Agamemnon.	10
48	40	"But, too," said Desmond of Harfax, "might one not expect some token of gratitude from your lordship, however negligible, no matter how undeserved it might be?" "The generosity of the Theocrat of the World, the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said Agamemnon, "may be depended upon, and is well kn...	10
48	42	"Would your life be appropriate?" asked Agamemnon.	10
48	57	How brave, and foolish, Desmond of Harfax had been! Did he think that so mighty a foe, so jealously guarded, might be so easily disposed of? I recalled that he whom he had spoken of as his principal, who had been, as it had turned out, Grendel, had said nothing of the assassination of Agamemnon.	10
48	60	Striking a blow at the heart of the conspiracy, by doing away with Agamemnon, had seemed to him a consideration of paramount importance.	10
48	63	I wondered if Agamemnon was even ensconced in one of the three containers on the dais.	10
48	66	There had been nothing secret about this meeting in the audience chamber of Agamemnon.	10
48	74	The thought of Agamemnon and his adherents appears to have been that the putatively small number of remaining dissidents who might conceal themselves in such passages would perish for lack of water, or be starved out.	10
48	77	The maps of the secret passageways had been taken by Lucius, and the adherents of Agamemnon knew little of their nature or whereabouts.	10
48	78	What is most relevant to this account is the fact that by means of one of these secret passageways, as to many other important locations in the Cave, one might obtain access to the audience chamber of Agamemnon.	10
48	94	"Down with the tyrant! Down with Agamemnon!" One of the Kurii near Master Desmond raised a massive paw.	10
48	99	"Repudiate Agamemnon! How can he be Kur? He has no body! I know his world! It rejected him! He is no Kur! He is only the brain that once inhabited a Kur body! Now he is an artificial thing, a brain armed with a hundred artificialities, an artifact of your wondrous science.	10
48	103	"Die, Agamemnon!" cried Lucius, and from diverse translators in the chamber, those activated, perhaps more than a dozen, there broke forth a startled medley of Kur and Gorean, producing a confused storm of sound.	10
48	113	It seemed likely they hoped, in this projected coup, to dispose of Agamemnon quickly and then present themselves to a confused, leaderless community as bold, patriotic liberators.	10
48	116	Their own bodies would be the shield of Agamemnon.	10
48	122	Some of the newcomers rushed upon the defenders with axes, and limbs and heads were smote away, but Kurii loyal to Agamemnon threw themselves on the assailants, seized axes, and there were terrible struggles for the weapons.	10
48	156	He knew more of the dangers posed by Agamemnon than his followers.	10
48	163	Of the party of Agamemnon only six were left.	10
48	171	"Ho, Agamemnon," he called out.	10
48	189	I suspected that Agamemnon, whom I took to be deep, was not as confused or disoriented as his responses might suggest.	10
48	212	Agamemnon is helpless, and our prisoner.	10
48	224	Now, seize up Agamemnon, and carry him, bodiless and helpless, into the hall, in triumph".	10
48	234	It was the Kur who, when an iron-chain Kur, had stood before Agamemnon with another Kur in the audience chamber, a silver-chain Kur.	10
48	237	The silver-chain Kur had then been slain, most unpleasantly, by Agamemnon, then housed in the large, crab-like metal body, and the silver chain, with garlands, had been awarded to former iron-chain Kur.	10
48	256	"So, noble Agamemnon," he cried.	10
48	262	Agamemnon knew the fraudulence of your charges but saw fit to reward you, that more honest informers might not fear to come forth, with more reliable intelligence".	10
48	264	"It was true, all true!" "Now," said Lucius, "you would betray Agamemnon, from whom you received the silver chain".	10
49	5	If I had been unclear in the Cave of Agamemnon as to whom I belonged, there was no longer any doubt about that.	10
49	14	I followed nothing of that at the time, of course, as that meeting was conducted entirely in Kur, but, as I later learned, that was the point at which Agamemnon had told Grendel of his alleged share in his parentage.	10
49	19	Agamemnon claimed to be one of these fathers.	10
49	21	Indeed, Agamemnon might have lost his Kur body generations before Grendel was born, but it would have been easily possible for portions of his genetic material, his seed, samples of his hereditary coils, and such, to have been maintained in a viable state, and later utilized in the experiment in que...	10
49	22	As stated, I do not know if Agamemnon's claim was true or not.	10
49	26	Indeed, it is quite possible, given the importance of the experiment, and its projected political aim, that of securing alliances with Gorean humans, that Agamemnon would have wished something of himself, his intelligence, vision, cunning, might, and power, to be incorporated in Grendel.	10
49	68	Timarchos and Lysymachos, with supplies, bearing the container housing Agamemnon, had soon left the Cave.	10
49	70	Lucius had not managed to secure the governance of the Cave and Agamemnon was deemed to have lost it, for, given the decimation of his chief supporters, he no longer had the power to impose discipline and order.	10
49	78	The fate of Timarchos, Lysymachos, and Agamemnon is not known.	10
49	86	As mentioned earlier the containers, one of which housed Agamemnon, had been damaged in the audience chamber.	10
49	87	The major effect which this damage seems to have had on Agamemnon was the damage to that portion of the device by means of which the ensconced brain was enabled to generate a visual consciousness.	10
49	88	In this way, Agamemnon's awareness of who, or what, was in his vicinity had been impaired.	10
49	89	Because of the trust accorded by both Timarchos and Lysymachos to Grendel, and because of him, to Tiresias, Agamemnon was occasionally left in the keeping of either Grendel or Tiresias, or both.	10

36	120	"Clearly," he said, "but with what faction, that of Lord Arcesilaus, or Lord Agamemnon?" "Lord Agamemnon?" I said.	10
42	187	The most likely faction opposed to Lord Arcesilaus would be that of the deposed Lord Agamemnon, but his faction is inert as of late, indeed, perhaps dissolved, and, to the best of our knowledge, Lord Agamemnon, lacking a body, is little to be feared.	10
46	382	"I saw nothing of Agamemnon, Lord Agamemnon," I said.	10
60	90	In the absence of Lord Agamemnon, he wishes to achieve the coup left undone, the recruitment or demise of Lord Grendel, a feat by which he would hope to regain the approbation of Lord Agamemnon.	10
