Each Greek captain has been awarded a Trojan girl as his personal services slave following some earlier raids.
Agamemnon has been awarded Chryseis, whom he is very fond of.
But Chryseis' dad Chryses is a priest of Apollo. 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 spring
Of woes unnumber'd - heav'nly Goddess sing.
