(Agamemnon either stabs her or not) the ref doesn't even have to run it as an extended contest.

Simple contest -- attacker vs 'helpless' opponent.

Strangely neough, I just got Colleen McCullogh's "Song of Troy" which is, so far, quite good and has a lot of intersting bits. But then I loved her 'Masters of Rome' series so I may just be biased.
