In book one, I would create Agamemnon a good king. Instead of him being so selfish, I will make him a nice, forgiving and responsible man. Instead of refusing to give his price, he will give his price up because he would know it would be for the good of his image. Achilles would be loyal to him and he will give Achilles a fair share from the wars the he had won. The story might get interesting and the ending might not be a tragedy if Agamemnon was good from the start.
The ending might be peaceful.

Heroes in war.
I'll take the first question.
While reading the book, my answer is that I believe that the gods of are the ones who are deciding the victories of certain nations. The Gods are the ones who are deciding the fates of every heroes who wins and falls. But are those heroes who won and lost immaterial? For me its no. They're wins are decided by Gods(especially Zeus) but they are the ones who have done those things. In other words the God does not receive the praises, the hero receives it. But what about the ones who are lost, there are places in the underworld that people goes to when they die. The "heaven" in the underworld is called "Elysium". I learned this by reading a book entitle Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. So all the heroes' hardships was for something.

War's Effects

But not all men is affected by pressures of war. Take hector as an example, every time he fights a war he is still a good husband and father.When he comes home he finds his wife, kisses her then looks for his son, and do things what a father would do, do things what a good husband and man would do.He does not use his violence in war when at home.
War effects people in many ways. It effects there beliefs, emotions, morality etc

King Agamemnon's Stubbornness

I compare King Agamemnon to Erap. Because he was once one of our president. Then a new election began to replace GMA as president. He used his power to become elected as president again and was not contented about loosing. He still wants to be a president when its obvious he was already loosing to Nonoy Aquino. In my own idea I think he was even cheating. Also when he lost he said Nonoy was "cheating".
