Help[Facts] Re: Briseis
in reply to a message by Maeryn
I just want to mention, that if I remember the Iliad correctly, Briseis was a very minor character. I guess the movie producers wanted yet another love story in the plot.

She was also a very minor character in the movie...

I don't think Briseis had a huge amount of text dedicated to her, but her role was pivotal in explaining Achilles' actions, since most of what he does at Troy hinges on Briseis.
Later traditions tend to embroider her role a bit, including giving quite a detailed account of her appearance and so forth.
