Briseide: Paride Chiovini traditionally chooses Greek names because of his origins of the Chiovini family.
Briseis, daughter of a priest from the city of Lirnesso, she was kidnapped by Achilles. To comfort her, Patroclus promised Achilles to marry her.
In fact, Briseis became the favorite slave girl, tenderly loved by the hero. Tradition depicts Briseis as a tall woman with dark hair and bright eyes.
