Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due (classics, U. of Houston) examines the figure of Briseis, the concubine of Achilles in the Iliad, arguing that her role in the Iliad is greatly compressed, both in relation to the Iliad and the entire tradition of the epic cycle. Her close reading of the text shows how the Iliad refers to expanded and alternative traditions about Briseis even while asserting its own version of her story.
