Chryseis
Begs Agamemnon, and compares him self to Agamemnon's father.
Chryses prays to Apollo to seek his help in order to get back his daughter, who has been taken captive by the Greek army led by Agamemnon. Apollo is the god of healing and plagues, and Chryses believes that appealing to the god's power will help secure the safe return of his daughter.
He had to give him back his daughter.
Yes. Also, her father Chryses, with help from Orestes, was also responsible for the death of Thoas. He killed Thoas after finding out that the son of Chryseis, called "younger Chryses", was also the son of Agamemnon.
He had to give him his daughter Chryseis back.

Yes they did... however the priests of Greek mythology probably differed from the priests of todays christianity. in christianity they teach to pray and ask God for things whereas in ancient Greece the preists where probably trying to sacrafice animals to the Gods to keep them happy. evidence of priests are littered everywhere however such as Chryses who during the Trogan war prayed to the Gods. A man called Agamemnon took Chryses' daughter Chryseis from Moesia as a war prize and when Chryses attempted to ransom her, refused to return her. Chryses prayed to Apollo, and he, in order to defend the honor of his priest, sent a plague sweeping through the Greek armies, and Agamemnon was forced to give Chryseis back in order to end it.

Apollo sends a plague on the Greeks during the Trojan War as a punishment for Agamemnon's disrespect towards his priest, Chryses, who sought the return of his daughter, Chryseis. Refusing to return her and insulting Chryses, Agamemnon incurs Apollo's wrath, leading the god to unleash a deadly plague upon the Greek camp. This event is depicted in Homer's "Iliad," highlighting the theme of divine retribution and the consequences of hubris.
