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