In Book 3, during his account of the Trojan War, Nestor discusses Agamemnon's wish to change his fate: "He meant to detain us there and offer victims, anything to appease Athena's dreadful wrath - poor fool, he never dreamed Athena would not comply. The minds of the everlasting gods don't change so quickly" (3.160-163).
Agamemnon performed a ritual sacrifice in hopes of changing the course of events. In hindsight, Nestor calls him a "fool."
Why is this considered foolish?
Is there anything Agamemnon could have done?
Should he have just resigned himself to fate?
