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.

Young Achilles & Young Patroclus design for the near future project 👀

Definitely different from how I usually draw them! but it's also a good chance to explore some new ideas.

Oh Electra they'll never make me hate you. Not that i truly hate any character from the house or Atreus. What many people do often is jumping into defence mode for Clytemnestra whereas her actions speak of a layered personality that her actions influenced negatively her children.

Yes she lost a daughter, but Electra and Orestes also lost a sister. Grief became pain, anger twisting the knife of tragedy to this family. Clytemnestra became a mother isolated from her children, closed to her own revenge that caused her own kids to despise her, especially Electra, forced to marry a servant, becoming one by her own mother's hands. The kind of betrayal coming from your parents is a pain deep residing in the soul.
