Chryseis
In Greek mythology, Chryseis (, , ) is a Trojan woman, the daughter of Chryses. Chryseis, her apparent name in the Iliad, means simply "Chryses' daughter"; later writers give her real name as Astynome (). The 12th century poet Tzetzes describes her to be "very young and thin, with milky skin; had blond hair and small breasts; nineteen years old and still a virgin". As the "golden one" she is also the title-giving character of the Baroque alchemical epic Chryseidos Libri IIII (1631). Mythology Astynome was sent by her father for protection, or, according to others, to attend the celebration of a festival of Artemis in Hypoplacian Thebe or in Lyrnessus where she was taken as prisoner by the Achaeans According to some, she was the wife of Eetion, king of Lyrnessus (usually described as the ruler of nearby Cilician Thebe), who was killed by the son of Peleus during his campaigns against the allies of Troy. However, according to the Byzantine poet John Tzetzes, he suggests that it was Palamedes that abducted Chryseis as well as Briseis. In the first book of the Iliad, during the distribution of the booty, she was given to Agamemnon as a sex slave
