Friendly reminder that "Briseis" is a patronymic that means "daughter of Brises" and "Chryseis" means "daughter of Chryses"

Some scholia of the Iliad mention that Briseis's actual name is Ἱπποδάμεια (Hippodameia) and Chryseis's name is Ἀστυνόμη (Astynome)

Ἱπποδάμεια -> ἵππος (horse) + δαμάζειν (to tame) = Tamer of Horses

Ἀστυνόμη -> ἄστυ (city) + νόμος (law) = Law of the City

Both names are also apparently referencing other figures in Greek mythology including but not limited to Hippodameia of Oinomaus and Astynome one of the Niobides.

That's it.
