It is an obvious fact but realizing that the only way I can get all of these questions right is by completely understanding the passage is scaring me...
@mszchloechen640 This fuggen General Agamemnon is an idiot, the gods arent even guaranteeing he will win, just that a bunch of ships will get to battle... whats the point if they lose? what a dim person.... the choice is irrelevant... the choice kinda boils down to kill your daughter so all these other people can die on both sides... it makes no sense... and im really trying to make it make it make sense.
I know if I was a soldier I wouldnt want my survival depending on if some guy sacrifices his daughter or not. who writes this garbage? Is this like the trashy romance novels of greece, wheres that opinion because its mine! These are trash...
@AutonomousTacticalTheory Deep lore: Agamemnon won the war (in part due to the sacrifice) but then got assassinated by his wife (partially on account of the sacrifice).
How come I can't see the difficulty of the questions (and other stats) anymore in the little 'answers' drop down like I could in the old version of the website? It was always helpful for me to look at the most popular wrong answers to evaluate trap answers even if I got it right. I usually did this before the video to see if my reasoning matched up with the video.
Can it be assumed that answer choices with striking similarity, like B and C, will be one of the correct answer choices? And therefore eliminate the choices that aren't similar?
answer E is cracking me up lol its so word salad. "the only way I will be able to kill my daughter is if I really want to win in battle, so I will perform the sacrifice because Artemis told me to (I guess Artemis really wants him to kill his daughter lol)."

Agamemnon got that dog in him
Hahahahaha this literally made me spit out of my coffee
Having B as an answer should be criminal.
Would have totally fallen for B 😑
Unusually cruel of them to put "he also deeply desires a victorious battle" right before this quote
Sounds like what Thanos did lol
@dannyurbina18387 I thought of Stannis Baratheon
Glad Agamemnon ain’t my dad, he’s tripping...
nice one, george rr martin
Dang it Stannis Baratheon
after reading the GOT references I read ur name as Joffrey

Genuinely evil to put an option like B and not have it be the right answer.
I got got
i fell for the dirty tricks of B
Did I get this right because I understood the passage, or because I just saw the Odyssey?
got this one wrong bc it was so hard to wrap my head around him desiring his daughter's death
@MariaLCantu we gotta throw our morals and ethics out the window for lsat
My sensitive self: I see why it’s the right answer, but it’s mean. thinks about what his daughter must have thought if she heard that and wastes time

Calling CPS on Agamemnon. What an unfit parent. Smh.
This referential phrasing example is really helpful! This got me the first time I came across this passage.

I wouldn't rely on a rule like this. Sometimes it will work, but sometimes it won't.
yeeeeeeehaw

POE'd until i chose my second guessed answer because my first choices seem to be wrong lol
Yay got this right
