the maiden Briseis was captured by the Greeks in a war waged on which city ?
Briseus In Greek mythology, Briseus (Βρισεύς) or Brises (Βρίσης) is the father of Briseis (Hippodameia), a maiden captured by the Greeks during the Trojan War, as recorded in the "Iliad". Eustathius of Thessalonica, a commentator on Homer, says Briseus and Chryses were brothers, as sons of Ardys (otherwise unknown), with Briseus dwelling in Pedasus, and Chryses residing in Chryse; both were towns in the Troad. Pedasus was said by Homer to be Lelegian settlement, ruled by the Lelegian king Altes. Thus, Briseus may also have been a Lelegian. Other sources say that Briseus was a priest of Lyrnessus. According to Dictys Cretensis, Briseus hanged himself when he lost his daughter.
Battle of the 300 Champions The Battle of the 300 Champions, known since Herodotus' day as the Battle of the Champions, was a battle fought in roughly 546 BC between Argos and Sparta. Rather than commit full armies both sides agreed to pitting 300 of their best men against each other.
