In
Greek mythology,
Chryseis was a
Trojan woman, daughter of
Chryses. During the
Trojan War,
Agamemnon took her as a war prize and taunted her father, a priest of
Apollo when he attempted to buy her back. 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.
