Briseis (; Ancient Greek: Βρισηίς Brīsēís, pronounced [briːsɛːís]) ("daughter of Briseus"), also known as Hippodameia (Ἱπποδάμεια, [hippodámeːa]), is a significant character in the Iliad. Her role as a status symbol is at the heart of the dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon that initiates the plot of Homer's epic. She was married to Mynes, a son of the King of Lyrnessus, until the Achaeans sacked her city and was given to Achilles shortly before the events of the poem. Read more on Wikipedia
