In this short scene, Agamemnon asks his son if he is the "divine soldier" assigned to guard him. He asks how to distinguish him from the others. He is upset that his "red thread" has been broken, and he feels that he is not worthy of the position he has been assigned. He tells his son that he was just using him for his own ends, and that he hopes that his son will not make the same mistake as his father did. The child tells his father that he will not let his father go back into the "world of darkness," and he begs his father to remember that he and his mother will always love him.
