The Iliad Book 1 Answers
Additional notes:
The poet, Homer, singles out
Achilles rage as his major theme
in book 1.
Calchas urges the return of
Chryseis and urges them to
perform a hecatomb=the sacrifice
of 10 animals. This has been a
long standing argument between
Agamemnon and Calchas.
Causes of Conflict between Achilles
and Agamemnon:
Agamemnon refuses to
surrender Chryseis to her father
and causes the plague from
Apollo.
