Abstract
Homer’s Iliad begins with sacrilege, injustice, and great anger. King Agamemnon refuses the ransom offered by the priest Chryses for his daughter Chryseis. Chryses prays to the god Apollo, who brings a plague upon the Greek forces seizing Troy. Calchas, a Greek diviner, rightly blames the plague on Agamemnon, and public debate forces him to return his battle prize, Chryseis, to her father.
