Both show humility after their deaths.
Explanation: Agamemnon’s speech in the underworld is chastened and reflective — he recounts his betrayal and murder, warns Odysseus about the danger at home, and speaks from loss and regret rather than pride. Amphimedon, the suitor who speaks among the dead, recounts the suitors’ reckless behavior and their deserved fate; his account accepts their guilt and the justice of what happened. Both speeches show the shades chastened and humbled by death.
