[Facts] Re: Briseis
Another thing of course is that in the middle ages they took the name and either misread or tweaked it to arrive at Cressida, who then became a typical example of a weak and disloyal woman, throwing over her man when a wealthier and more powerful version came along.One form of it, perhaps an accusative, would have been something close to Briseida.Anyway, there was a minor vogue for naming girls Cressida in the UK during the 70s if I recall. And all those cars ... not a reassuring message of reliability!
