Chryseis - Mythology. Greek The daughter of Chryses, a priest of Apollo. During the Trojan War, the Greek war hero Achilles took her prisoner. Considered as war booty, Chryseis was then seized by Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks. Her father, Chryses, came to the Greek camp to rescue his daughter, but Agamemnon defended against the attack. Thereupon Apollo sent a plague among the Greeks. Many died and Agamemnon at last released Chryseis to her father to appease Apollo's anger.
