Chryses prays to Apollo for help, and Apollo - the god of infectious diseases - sends an epidemic into the Greek camp.Agamemnon must give back Chryseis - but this makes him look bad in front of the other Greek princes.So Agamemnon - the leader of the expedition - takes Briseis, the slave of Achilles (Achilles is the Greeks' greatest warrior).Achilles knows he cannot resist Agamemnon (civil war among the Greeks would mean a rapid death for all of them) but he announces that he will no longer fight for the Greek cause.Without their greatest warrior the Greeks are in serious trouble:Achilles' wrath - to Greece the direful springOf woes unnumber'd - heav'nly Goddess sing.
