1. A son of Ardys and a priest of Apollo at Chryse. He was the father of Astynome
(Chryseis), and when he came to the camp of the Greeks, offering a rich ransom for the
liberation of his daughter, he was treated by Agamemnon with harsh words. Chryses then prayed
to Apollo for vengeance, and the god sent a plague into the camp of the Greeks, which did not
cease raging until Calchas explained the cause of it, and Odysseus took Chryseis back to her
father. (Hom. II. 1.10, &c.)
