During the siege of Troy (and shortly before the start of the Iliad story) Agamemnon (commander in chief of the Greek expeditionary force) captures a young Trojan woman called Chryseis and takes her back to his camp as a slave and concubine. Chryseis is the daughter of the Trojan priest of Apollon, Chryses. Chryses comes to Agamemnon and asks to ransom his daughter. Agamemnon refuses to allow Chryseis to be ransomed. Apollo is infuriated at the insult offered to his priest, and sends a plague against the Greek ships.
Almost beyond the shadow of a doubt. The tale is related to us from a number of different sources, some of the historic, and they all tell basically the same story. Some elements are obviously mythic, because they didn't have other explanations for the happenings (like the plague that struck the Greek camp after the sacking of the Temple of Apollo).
Most likely, yes. You have to think, it had been 10 years, there had been a lot of fighting and a lot of dead, not to mention the plague that spread through the Greek camp. I imagine they left with far fewer men than they came with, and thus, needed fewer ships to get home.
In greek cheaters στρατόπεδο. In English characters stratópedo. Hope this helps
yes but then Annabeth and Jason find out they did a camp trade between the roman camp and the Greek camp. Jason is from the roman camp as he is the son of Jupiter. Percy is from the Greek camp he is the son of Poseidon.
No where. Camp Half Blood is not real (along with the Greek monsters, Men and gods).
