And they work-- thanks, Song of Ilium. I'll have more to say soon.
Hera's motivations are important to keep track of, as she is key in keeping the plot moving forward. She is motivated by her hatred for the Trojans; she does not want the army to disband and leave Troy unpunished.
Hera probably realizes that Agamemnon is one of the few who actually wants to be there and keep fighting. If he were to die than the Greeks would just go home and the Trojans would not feel the revenge of Hera. Beautiful painting.
