JL Bermúdez argues that it can be rational to evaluate the same thing differently when it is described using alternative ‘frames’. His central example, taken from the eponymous play, sees Agamemnon leading the Greek fleet against Troy, to avenge the abduction of Helen by Paris. Agamemnon is faced with the following dilemma:While the fleet is becalmed at Aulis, the prophet Calchas interprets a portent–two eagles swooping down to kill and eat a pregnant hare. As Calchas interprets the portent, it reflects the displeasure of the goddess Artemis at the prospect of innocents being killed at Troy. The lack of wind has the same source. The only solution, says Calchas, is for Agamemnon to sacrifice to the goddess his own daughter Iphigenia.(Bermúdez 2020, 7)
