From the way that Agamemnon talks to Amphimedon, the reader can infer that Agamemnon is disturbed by 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. Were you at sea, aboard ship, and Poseidon blew up a dire wind and foundering waves, or cattle-raiding, were you, on the mainland, or in a fight for some stronghold, or women, when the foe hit you to your mortal hurt? Tell me, answer my question. Guest and friend I say I am of yours—or do you not remember I visited your family there?”

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.
Were you at sea, aboard ship, and Poseidon
blew up a dire wind and foundering waves,
or cattle-raiding, were you, on the mainland,
or in a fight for some stronghold, or women,
when the foe hit you to your mortal hurt?
Tell me, answer my question. Guest and friend
I say I am of yours—or do you not remember
I visited your family there?”
