During the Classical period, Agamemnon was referred by the Cult of Kosmos as the first servant of Kosmos, the Cult's ideal of peace through order. However, the Sage of the Eyes of Kosmos branch, Nyx the Shadow, sought to remove all traces of Agamemnon and his lineage from the history books. This task was given especially to Midas, active in Argolis.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios Kassandra found Agamemnon's own personal armor set that he had worn in battle, most notably during the Trojan War.[1]
