Why does Apollo send a plague upon the Achaeans?
Because Agamennon takes prisoner a priestess (Criseida,or Criseis en English) of Apollo's cult. Her father asks for her liberation for ramson but Agamennon refuses. The father prays to Apollo who is enraged to know about it and punishes Agamennon hubrys sending "arrows of plague" to the achaean camp.All this happens in Homer's Iliad, the story about the troyan war.Calcante, the priest, and Aquiles press Agamennon for the liberation of Criseis. Agamennon finally accepts and offers an holocaust (sacrifice) to Apollo but asks for Briseida (Aquiles' prisoner) in compensation. Because of this, starts the "wrath of Aquiles" which is the opening theme of the Iliad.
