Agamemnon is angry at Calchas because the seer reveals that the plague ravaging the Greek army is a punishment from Apollo for Agamemnon's dishonor of Chryses, a priest of Apollo. Calchas advises Agamemnon to return Chryseis, the captive woman he took as a prize, to her father to appease the god. Agamemnon feels humiliated and threatened by the loss of his prize and the implication that he must submit to the will of a god and the advice of a seer, leading to his wrath towards Calchas.

Why did Achilles think that he was robbed of his honor?

Agamemnon had taken a woman named Chryseis as his slave. Her father Chryses, a priest of Apollo, begged Agamemnon to return her to him. Agamemnon refused and Apollo sent a plague amongst the Greeks. The prophet Calchas correctly determined the source of the troubles but would not speak unless Achilles vowed to protect him. Achilles did so and Calchas declared Chryseis must be returned to her father. Agamemnon consented, but then commanded that Achilles' battle prize Briseis be brought to replace Chryseis. Angry at the dishonor and at the urging of Thetis, Achilles refused to fight or lead his troops alongside the other Greek forces. She was something he had fought for, and Agamemnon just told him to give it up, while he could've done so himself too.
