CHRYSES, the priest of Apollo, father of Asynome, called from him Chryseis. When Lynceus was taken, and the spoils divided among the conquerors, Chryseis fell to the share of Agamemnon. Chryses upon this went to the Grecian camp to solicit his daughter's restoration; and when his prayers were fruitless, he implored the aid of Apollo, who visited the Greeks with a plague, and obliged them to restore Chryseis.
