Briseis = claimed by achilles as a prize. Achilles: one of the achaeans most valuable warriors. Chryseis" dad (chryses) begs for her back. They say no, so he prays for apollo"s help. Apollo sends a plague that lasts 10 days. Calchas: powerful seer tells agamemnon the cause of the plague was apollo & chryses. Agamemnon offers to give chryseis back to her father if achilles gives him briseis. Sends athena to stop achilles & agamemnon from physically fighting. Agamemnon later sends for briseis to be escorted to him & sends chryseis back to her father on a boat. Asks his mother (thetis) to ask for zeus to punish the achaeans. Hera becomes angry when zeus helps trojans because she favors the greeks (achaeans) Zeus sends a false dream to agamemnon that tells him they can take the city of troy if they launch a full-scale attack on the city"s walls.
