Briseis (Βρισηίς) is the Trojan War captive whose seizure by Agamemnon sparked Achilles's wrath — the central conflict of Homer's Iliad. Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles (2011) gave her a prominent modern voice.
Briseis is rare but rising as Greek myth-revival names gain visibility.
Briseis reduces to five — the number of Iliadic captivity.
