Document Summary
Of this sing from the time when first there parted in strife atreus" son, lord of men, and noble achilles. Zeus; for he, angered at the king, roused throughout the army an evil pestilence, and the men were perishing, because to chryses his priest the son of atreus had done dishonor. But her i will not set free; before that, old age will come on her in our house, in. Argos, far from her country, as she walks back and forth in front of the loom and shares my bed. But go; do not anger me, so that you may go the safer. Calchas, the greek priest and prophet of apollo gives reason for apollo"s anger: But even so i am minded to give her home. For in fact i prefer her to clytemnestra, my wedded wife, since she is in no way inferior to her, either in form or in stature, or in mind, or in handiwork.
