Other forms: Att. vases Άγαμέσμων, also Άγαμέμμων, - μέν(ν)ων (Nachmanson Glotta 4, 246).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Prellwitz BB 17, 171f. assumed *Αγα-μέδ-μων `mächtig waltend'; s. Stolz, Innsbrucker Festgruß 13ff. The development - δμ- \> - νμ- \> - μν- is known (Lejeune, Phonét. 77 n. 5. Kretschmer Glotta 3, 330f. connected the second part with μένος und μένειν, explaining - σμ- as a kind of vulgar assimilation. S. also Fiesel Namen 65ff. However, the development to - σμ- is phonetically less easy. On the problem Schwyzer 208. But a variation dental\/σ is known from PreGreek, as in τεῦτλον\/ σεῦτλον; cf. Μέδμα\/ Μέσμα, a town of the Locrians in Bruttium; cf. Furnée 263 ἀσμωλεὶν\/ ἀδμωλή Κάδμος\/ Κάσμος We might assume an affricate as the origin (*- medm-\/- mesm- \< *- mecm-). Thus Agamemnon, like Achilles, would be a Pre-Greek name.
