Document Summary

Apollo sent upon a plague to the people because the son of atreus had dishonored his priest chryses. Chryses came to the ships of the achaeans to offer a ransom for the freedom of his daughter but agamemnon refused. So chryses prayed to apollo, who heard his prayer and brought his wrath upon the town. For nine days he shot arrows among the people, but on the tenth day achilles called them into assembly- inspired by hera. Calchas son of thestor, explained why apollo was so angry and insisted that they return the daughter of chryses to end the turmoil. Agamemnon still refused to return the girl, so achilles tried to reason with him, saying if he gave back the girl they would pay him three times as much as she"s worth. Agamemnon answered, by saying that he will offer the girl as a sacrifice at sea.
