Answer:
Agamemnon’s and Amphimedon’s speeches in the Odyssey reflect their feelings of shame due to their dishonorable deaths.
Agamemnon, previously the commander of the entire Greek army, who captured the sacred Troy, was disgracefully killed by his wife as retribution for having sacrificed their daughter, Iphigenia.
Amphimedon, the son of Menelaus, Agamemnon's brother and prince of Sparta, met a similarly dishonorable fate. He was attempting to woo the hero's wife, Penelope, while indulging in feasts and consuming Odysseus' wealth. He ultimately perished along with the other suitors at the hands of the hero and his son.
Both men did not face a glorious or honorable demise; they did not perish in battle, resulting in the loss of any honor they may have acquired in life.
