Then the priest came bringing much gold, with which he wished to buy back his daughter.

First of all he went to Agamemnon and his brother, then to the other chiefs, and begged them to take the gold and give him back the girl.

So, he said, may the gods help you take the city of Troy and bring you back safe to your homes.

All the other chiefs were willing, but Agamemnon cried, Away with you, old man!

Do not linger here now, and do not come again, or it will be the worse for you, though you are a priest.

As for your daughter, I will carry her back with me when I have taken Troy.

So the old man went out in great fear and trouble, and he prayed to Apollo to help him.

And Apollo heard him.

Very angry was the god that his priest should suffer such things, and he came down from his palace on the top of the mountain Olympus.

He came as night comes across the sky, and his arrows rattled terribly as he went.

Then he began to shoot, and his arrows carried death, first to the dogs and the mules, and then to the men.

For nine days the people died, and on the tenth day Achilles called an assembly.

When the Greeks were gathered together, he stood up in the middle and said, Surely it would be better to go home than to stay here and die.

"'You wish to know why Apollo is angry?

I will tell you.

But first you must promise to stand by me, for King Agamemnon will be angry when he hears what I shall say.'

"'Say on,' cried Achilles.'
