Why did Achilles go into a sulk and refuse to fight during the Trojan war?
Agamemnon, principal chief of the gathered Greeks (as he was king of Mycenae and all of Achaea) took a woman named Chryseis as a slave. Her father, a priest of Apollo, praed for her return, so Apollo sent a plague among the Greeks. The prophet, Calchas, after being sworn protection by Achilles, told Agamemnon that Chryseis needed to be returned to end the plague. Agamemnon agreed, but also declared that Achilles' slave, Briseis be brought to him as a replacement. Achilles, raging over the dishonor (and because he loves Briseis), prays to his mother, Thetis, for Zeus to help the Trojans gain the upper hand.
Why did Achilles think that he was robbed of his honor?
Agamemnon had taken a woman named Chryseis as his slave. Her father Chryses, a priest of Apollo, begged Agamemnon to return her to him. Agamemnon refused and Apollo sent a plague amongst the Greeks. The prophet Calchas correctly determined the source of the troubles but would not speak unless Achilles vowed to protect him. Achilles did so and Calchas declared Chryseis must be returned to her father. Agamemnon consented, but then commanded that Achilles' battle prize Briseis be brought to replace Chryseis. Angry at the dishonor and at the urging of Thetis, Achilles refused to fight or lead his troops alongside the other Greek forces. She was something he had fought for, and Agamemnon just told him to give it up, while he could've done so himself too.
