What part did Artemis play in the Trojan war?
Artemis had a very small part in the Trojan War. Unlike the other gods, she had no loyalties to either side before the war. However, since her brother Apollo supported the Trojans, she took Troy's side. This won her the wrath of Hera, who already hated the huntress because Zeus favored Artemis more than any of Hera's children. In the Iliad book 21, Hera boxed Artemis' ears with the girl's own hunting bow. Artemis then fled, with many tears running down her face, to her father Zeus. She left her bow and arrows behind her, leaving her mother Leto to gather them up. Artemis also delayed the warrior Agamemnon and his forces from getting to Troy. Right before Agamemnon was supposed to sail to Troy, he shot one of Artemis' sacred stags in a grove and boasted that he was a better hunter than the goddess Artemis herself. In revenge, Artemis commanded the winds to keep blowing Agamemnon's ships back to shore. Agamemnon then asked an oracle or a seer what to do to appease the god that was preventing his arrival to Troy. The oracle or seer told him that the only way to appease Artemis, the goddess he had angered, was to sacrifice his oldest daughter, Iphigenia, to the goddess. Agamemnon tricked his wife Clytemnestra into sending Iphigenia to him by saying that Iphigenia was going to be married to Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior. When Iphigenia arrived, Agamemnon placed her on the sacrificial alter. Some accounts say that Iphigenia was sacrificed to Artemis, but others say that Artemis replaced her with a white deer at the last moment and took her to an island where the goddess made Iphigenia her priestess. Some stories even say that Iphigenia was transformed into Hecate, the goddess of magic and the dark side of the moon.

Why did Achilles go into a sulk and refuse to fight during the Trojan war?
Agamemnon, principal chief of the gathered Greeks (as he was king of Mycenae and all of Achaea) took a woman named Chryseis as a slave. Her father, a priest of Apollo, praed for her return, so Apollo sent a plague among the Greeks. The prophet, Calchas, after being sworn protection by Achilles, told Agamemnon that Chryseis needed to be returned to end the plague. Agamemnon agreed, but also declared that Achilles' slave, Briseis be brought to him as a replacement. Achilles, raging over the dishonor (and because he loves Briseis), prays to his mother, Thetis, for Zeus to help the Trojans gain the upper hand.

Why did Achilles think that he was robbed of his honor?
Agamemnon had taken a woman named Chryseis as his slave. Her father Chryses, a priest of Apollo, begged Agamemnon to return her to him. Agamemnon refused and Apollo sent a plague amongst the Greeks. The prophet Calchas correctly determined the source of the troubles but would not speak unless Achilles vowed to protect him. Achilles did so and Calchas declared Chryseis must be returned to her father. Agamemnon consented, but then commanded that Achilles' battle prize Briseis be brought to replace Chryseis. Angry at the dishonor and at the urging of Thetis, Achilles refused to fight or lead his troops alongside the other Greek forces. She was something he had fought for, and Agamemnon just told him to give it up, while he could've done so himself too.

Whose daughters were slain by Artemis?
The Greek leader Agamemnon, according to myth, either he or his troops slaughtered a hare, and then Agamemnon boasted that he was better with an arrow than the goddess Artemis herself. Offended, Artemis demanded that Agamemnon's first born child be sacrificed to her, otherwise the winds would not blow favorably for the Greek fleet and they would not be able to get to Troy to lay siege to the city.

What did Artemis demand of them to calm the winds and ensure a safe voyage to Troy?
I believe you are talking about Agamemnon, a warrior in the Trojan war. One day he shot a deer in a sacred field and boasted that he was a better hunter than Artemis, the goddess of the Hunt. She was furious and commanded the winds to continue to blow Agamemnon's ships back to the shore so he could not get to Troy. An oracle told him to appease Artemis and sail to Troy, he had to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia. He tricked his wife, Clytemnestra, into bringing Iphigenia over by saying she was to be married to Achilles. When she came over, her father put her on the altar. Some accounts say she was killed. However, other accounts say before she could be killed, Artemis replaced her with a deer. There are then two accounts of what happened to Iphigenia then. The most popular is that she became a priestess to Artemis. The other is she was transformed into the goddess Hecate. Either way, Agamemnon got to Troy.
