The angry Achilles has threatened to take his man and return home. Achilles and Agamemnon become so enraged at each other. Agamemnon takes the daughter of Chryses. Chryses is Apollo's priest. So Apollo gets very angry and decides to send a plague. The prophet reveals why the plague is occuring, and it's because Agamemnon kidnaps Chryseis. Achilles wants to give the girl up so this will all end, Agamemnon feels disrespected because he loves her and he doesn't want to give her up. But because he doesn't want any more conflicts, he agrees to give Chryseis up. But in return, Agamemnon wants Achilles prize because his pride is ruined. Agamemnon wants his people safe and not dying. Because of this arguement, Achilles wants to take his army men out of war. In conclusion, I believe that Agamemnon is to blame. If he didn't steal Chryseis, none of this would've happened; the plague, arguement, war, and anger between the gods.
Great effort, Chelsea!
