What Is The Differences Between Hecuba's Death And Polymestor

Agamemnon knew Hecuba was going to avenge both Polyxena's death and Polydorus. Although, he wasn't aware of Hecuba's gruesome plan, he was well aware that he allowed for Hecuba to commit those acts. Agamemnon did not want his Army to believe that he was against Polymestor at all, hence the mock trial conducted allowed for both parties to share rationally their stories. Agamemnon was still partially involved, as a judge seeking justice through listening to Hecuba's and Polymestor's pleas. Agamemnon then decided that Polymestor was simply paying the debt he owed, through the castration of his sight and the death of his children. Polymestor committed murder and Hecuba punished him by taking the lives of his children who were innocent of crimes
