Chapter 1 - Achilles, commander of the Myrmidons (not sure if he’s a king), and Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and commander of the Greek army, are at odds. After a successful sacking by the Greeks they take women as spoils of war. Notably Chryseis who is given to Agamemnon, and Briseis who is given to Achilles. Chryseis’ father offers Agamemnon a ransom for his daughter, Agamemnon refuses and insults him. Chryses (the father) prays to Apollo who hears him and starts killing Greeks. For it to stop Agamemnon must return Chryseis but doesn’t want to and demands something equal in return. Tempers flare, words are said and Agamemnon does return Chryseis, but takes Briseis from Achilles for which Achilles says he’ll no longer fight along side the Greeks for. And Gods are involved in some of this.
