Domain	Definition
Literature	Briseis (3 syl.). The patronymic name of Hippodamia, daughter of Briseus (2 syl.). A concubine of Achilles, to whom he was greatly attached. When Agamemnon was compelled to give up his own concubine, who was the daughter of a priest of Apollo, he took Briseis away from Achilles. This so annoyed the hero that he refused any longer to go to battle, and the Greeks lost ground daily. Ultimately, Achilles sent his friend Patroclos to supply his place. Patroclos was slain, and Achilles, towering with rage, rushed to battle, slew Hector, and Troy fell. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In Greek mythology, Briseis was a Trojan maiden (from Lyrnessos) who was abducted during the Trojan War by Achilles. After an oracle forced Agamemnon to give up a woman he had captured, Chryseis, Agamemnon took Briseis to compensate himself. Achilles pouted and refused to fight, leading to many of the most important events of the Trojan War, including the death of Patroclus.
