So my long term memory is oddly good (contrary to my terrible short term memory) and I recall studying the odyssey in 7th grade, and when Odysseus visited the underworld, Agamemnon was saying that Odysseus should be glad he has such a faithful wife, ‘unlike Clytemnestra who murdered him open his return from Troy’. And I unfortunately don’t remember Ody’s response, but it should have gone like this
Agamemnon: you’re so lucky your wife doesn’t hate you, I was so unlucky in that department, such dumb luck!
Odysseus: well, I went to war so that you wouldn’t kill my child. You killed your child so that you could go to war. But sure, luck is what defines our wives’ opinions of us
