Hello. You did not provide the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours, which featured the text "Black Ships Before Troy." If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

This conflict may have shown ancient Greeks that the women of a people should not be abducted and that the request of the priests should always be heeded.

Explanation:

The conflict to which lines 355-375 refer, was caused by the Greek god Apollo, who caused a great fever among Greek soldiers, by throwing pestilent arrows towards them. This conflict happened because the daughter of Apollo's priest was kidnapped by Agamemnon. The priest begged Agamemnon to release his daughter and promised that he would pay the price that was for her. However, Agamemnon refused to release the girl, expelled the priest, and cursed him very severely.

This made Apollo angry and teach the Greeks a lesson. This lesson showed that the mulehres of any region must be respected and that the priests of any god must be heard, attended and respected.
