The fresco of the Villa Valmarana in Vicenza. In the tenth year of the siege of Troy, the priest of Apollo Chris came to the Greek camp and asked the Greeks to return his daughter, Chryseida, captured by the Greeks, offering a rich ransom for the girl. However, King Agamemnon refused Christ. Then the angry Apollo sent a great sea to the Greek army.
Nine days raged plague. On the tenth day, on the advice of Hera, Achill called a people’s assembly. The prophet Kalkhas revealed to the Greeks the reason why the god Apollo is angry. He was angry with Achilles Agamemnon, and although he agreed to return Chriside to his father, he began to threaten that, in return, Chryseida would take away his captive Briiside from Achilles. After some time, he fulfilled his threat, sending for the Briseid herates Euribat and Talfibia.
