Winds Guide
The Achaeans fleet was stuck in Avlida waiting for fair wind to depart for Troy. Agamnemon calls from Mycenae his daughter Ifigenia to sacrifice her, on the excuse that he will marry her with Achilles the young girl offers herself to be sacrificed for her home.
All this took place in ‘ΜΙΧΑΛΗΣ’ fish tavern. Strategical move for the desired effect.
