In at Chryse, near the city of Troy . He and Briseus (father of Briseis) were said to be sons of a man named Ardys, otherwise unknown. During the Trojan War (prior to the actions described in Homer 's '' Iliad ''), Agamemnon took his daughter Chryseis (=Astynome) as a war prize and when Chryses attempted to ransom her, refused to let her free. An Oracle of Apollo then sent a plague sweeping through the Greek armies, and Agamemnon was forced to give Chryseis back in order to end it. |
