Chryseis
Mythological Greek character
Chryseis
Chryseis ( , Ancient Greek: Χρυσηίς, romanized: Khrusēís, pronounced [kʰryːsɛːís]) is a Trojan woman in Homer's Iliad, the daughter of Chryses. Chryseis, her apparent name in the Iliad, means simply "Chryses' daughter"; later writers give her real name as Astynome (Ἀστυνόμη). The 12th-century poet Tzetzes describes her as "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).
