Chryseis's Captivity
In Mycenae's halls, where shadows play,
Chryseis's heart, a captive's sway.
With eyes so sad, and spirit torn,
She mourns the fate, she can't adorn.
Through whispers soft, and silent sighs,
In Chryseis's soul, the captivity lies.
With every step, her honor grows,
In every choice, her courage shows.

In final breath, her truth revealed,
Chryseis's heart, forever healed.

With every tear, and whispered word,
In Chryseis's name, their hope is heard.

The priest's daughter's guiding grace,
In every heart, she finds a place.
