The Sceptre of Atreus

Odysseus took the sceptre from agamemnon, son of atreus. When he encountered some king, basilaus, or some man of influence, he would stand beside him with soft words to restrain him. So that the interesting question about odyssean rule is that Agamemnon sort of gave this very imprudent sort of, let's just go home. And then odysseus is taske with getting them back. He knows how to use the sceptre right, when to use it or when not,. and how to speak to different souls or different ranks of people.
