Answer:

The reader can infer by the way Agamemnon talks to Amphimedon that he is disturbed by Amphimedon's presence in Hades.

Step-by-step explanation:

From this excerpt, Amphimedon tells Agamemnon how he died, including the way Penelope plotted their death and deceived them by weaving during the day and unweaving what she has woven at night so she wouldn't finish the weaving and marry any of the suitors.

He also recounts how Odysseus and Telemacheaus killed them with his strung bow.

Here, he is lamenting Amphimedon's presence in Hades, "Amphimedon, What ruin brought you into this undergloom? All in a body, picked men, and so young? One could not better choose the kingdom's pride. "
