During the ninth year of the Trojan war, the Greeks started realizing that they couldn't win, while the Trojans kept continually getting more troops and supplies from Troy's nearby kingdoms and vassals. So the Greeks decided to sail out and destroy the vassals. By destroying the nearby kingdoms the Greeks didn't only gain supplies, but women captives. Achilles took Briseis as his concubine, while Agamemnon took Chryseis, daughter of the Trojan priest Apollo. Chyses had offered many generous ransoms to Agamemnon and even promised to pray to his god for a Greek victory in the war, but Agamemnon foolishly refused his offers. The Commander-in-chief insulted and threatened the priest, when Chryseis's Father failed to persuade Agamemnon to return his daughter, Chryses prayed to Apollo.
