ChrysesIn Greek mythology, Chryses (Greek: Χρύσης, Khrsēs) was a priest of Apollo at Chryse, near the city of Troy. During the Trojan War (prior to the actions described in Homer's Iliad), Agamemnon took his daughter Chryseis as a war prize and when Chryses attempted to ransom her, refused to let her free. An oracle of Apollo then sent a plague sweeping through the Greek armies, and Agamemnon was forced to give Chryseis back in order to end it.
