Book One of the ''Iliad'' opens with the invocation of the muse, asking her to help record the causes and repercussions of the rage of [[Achilles]]. [[Agamemnon]], leader of the [[Achaeans]], has taken the daughter of [[Chryses]], a priest of [[Apollo]], and refused the priest's ransom. Chryses prays to Apollo for aid, and the god responds by sending a plague of arrows onto the Achaean army. [[Calchas]], a seer, predicts that Apollo will not relent until the priest's daughter is returned without ransom, and with one hundred bulls as an apologetic sacrifice to Apollo. | Book One of the ''Iliad'' opens with the invocation of the muse, asking her to help record the causes and repercussions of the rage of [[Achilles]].
