Iliad Notes for Tuesday 2/13

1. Summarize with one or two quick bullet points per stanza - ones that you will be able to understand when you read your notes later.
-The old priest prayed to the god Apollo and got his power and skill with bow and arrows. He started to kill the mules and circling dogs, then the Achaean men.
-Achilles called his men and is thinking about retreating back to their home to escape their deaths.

2. Ask questions about the reading from one or more stanzas.
Who is the old priest? Did they mention it before in the beginning? Is he Chryses or is that someone else?

3. Predict what will happen next.
I think the Achaean's will ask Zeus for power beyond their wildest dreams and with it they will kill the old priest(Chryses?).
