She was the daughter of Chryses a Trojan priest of Apollo at Chryse near Troy. Agamemnon received Astynome as part of the war booty, when the Greeks under Achilles sacked many of the cities allied to Troy. Her father tried to ransom her, but Agamemnon refused, so Chryses appealed to Apollo who sent a plague amongst the Greeks. In the end Agamemnon returned her, as it was the only way to end the plague.
