Who did calchas side with in the Trojan war?
Calchas, the seer and priest in Greek mythology, sided with the Greeks during the Trojan War. He played a crucial role in advising the Greek leaders, particularly Agamemnon, about the will of the gods and the necessary actions to secure victory. His prophecies and insights were instrumental in guiding the Greeks throughout the conflict.
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.
What background is Achilles?
Achilles was a Greek hero who fought in the Trojan War against Troy and her allies. Achilles' mother was the nymph, Thetis, and his father, Peleus was the king of the Myrmidons. It is often thought because of his superior fighting skill and invulnerability that he was actually the son of Zeus, making him a demigod, half mortal, half god. Achilles' real secret happened at birth. Achilles mother, Thetis had dipped him in the river of Styx in the underworld. Being in the river of Styx was often dangerous, If one were to stay in the river too long he would forget their whole entire lives within minuets. However, if someone were to be dipped in then taken out, wherever the water touched the person would be almost invincible in battle. There was one slight mistake when Thetis dipped Achilles in the river though, she held him by his heel while submerging the rest of his body in the river, meaning the water didn't affect his heel. Once Achilles was a full grown Greek solider, he was virtually unstoppable. He had fought and won many battles thanks to the blessing of Styx. Agamemnon, the High King of Greece had kidnapped a Trojan woman named Chryseis as his slave. Her father Calchas, a priest of Apollo, begged Agamemnon to return her to him. Agamemnon refused and Apollo sent a deadly plague amongst the Greeks. The prophet Calchas, determined the source of the troubles but would not speak unless Achilles vowed to protect him. Achilles did so and Calchas, of course declared that Chryseis must be returned to her father. Agamemnon did as he was told, but then commanded that Achilles' battle prize Briseis be brought to replace Chryseis. Angry at the dishonor of having his slave and glory taken away (He later mentions that he loves Briseis, his own slave). With the urging of his mother Thetis, Achilles refused to fight or lead his troops alongside the other Greek forces. At this same time, burning with rage over Agamemnon's theft, Achilles prayed to Thetis to convince Zeus to help the Trojans gain ground in the war, so that he may regain his honor. Zeus answered his prayers and the Trojan forces pushed the Greeks back to the beaches and started setting their ships ablaze. However, Achilles had still refused to do battle. Even after Agamemnon had sent three chieftains, Odysseus, Phoenix, and Ajax to offer him back Briseis and other gifts. As the Trojans started slaughtering the Greeks, Patroclus, took the armor of Achilles without Achilles or anyone else knowing and led the Myrmidons into battle. He pushed back the Trojans almost all the way to the city's walls, he would have attacked Troy if he had not been killed by Hector. Enraged over the death of Patroclus, Achilles ended his refusal to fight and took to the battlefield killing many men in his rage but the whole time he was only seeking out Hector. Achilles even engaged in battle with the river god Scamadar who became angry that Achilles was damming his waters with all the men he killed. The god tried to drown Achilles but was restrained by Hera and Hephaestus. Zeus himself took note of Achilles' rage and sent the gods to restrain him so that he would not go on to sack Troy itself, seeming to show that the unhindered rage of Achilles could defy fate itself because Troy was not destined to be destroyed just yet. As Achilles began to sack Troy Paris, still being in the city had shot an arrow at Achilles, which struck him directly in his heel, the only part of his whole body that could be compromised. It was at that moment when the great Achilles fell in battle.
Why did Artemis want to kill Agamemnon?
Agamemnon gathered the reluctant Greek forces to sail for Troy. Preparing to depart from Aulis, which was a port in Boeotia, Agamemnon's army incurred the wrath of the goddess Artemis. There are several reasons throughout myth for such wrath: in Aeschylus' play Agamemnon, Artemis is angry for the young men who will die at Troy, whereas in Sophocles' Electra, Agamemnon has slain an animal sacred to Artemis, and subsequently boasted that he was Artemis's equal in hunting. Misfortunes, including a plague and a lack of wind, prevented the army from sailing. Finally, the prophet Calchas announced that the wrath of the goddess could only be propitiated by the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia. Classical dramatizations differ on how willing either father or daughter were to this fate, some include such trickery as claiming she was to be married to Achilles, but Agamemnon did eventually sacrifice Iphigenia. Her death appeased Artemis, and the Greek army set out for Troy. Several alternatives to the human sacrifice have been presented in Greek mythology. Other sources, such as Iphigenia at Aulis, claim that Agamemnon was prepared to kill his daughter, but that Artemis accepted a deer in her place, and whisked her away to Taurus in Crimea. Hesiod said she became the goddess Hecate.

Why is Agamenmon so angry at Calchas?
Agamemnon is angry at Calchas because the seer reveals that the plague ravaging the Greek army is a punishment from Apollo for Agamemnon's dishonor of Chryses, a priest of Apollo. Calchas advises Agamemnon to return Chryseis, the captive woman he took as a prize, to her father to appease the god. Agamemnon feels humiliated and threatened by the loss of his prize and the implication that he must submit to the will of a god and the advice of a seer, leading to his wrath towards Calchas.
How does agamemnon treat calchas?
Agamemnon treats Calchas, the seer, with a mix of respect and impatience. While he ultimately seeks Calchas's insight to understand the cause of Apollo's wrath, he initially reacts defensively when Calchas's prophecy reveals an unpleasant truth about his own actions. Agamemnon's response reflects his authority as leader, as he demands the seer's honesty while also showing a reluctance to accept the consequences of the revelation. This dynamic highlights the tension between the power of prophecy and the pride of leadership.
