Overview
Let me not then die ingloriously
and without a struggle, but let me
first do some great thing that shall
be told among men hereafter.”
In the final year of the siege of Troy, Chryses tries to ransom his daughter, Chryseis, who is held a captive by the Achaean leader, Agamemnon. As Agamemnon refuses to release her, Chryses
