The character's name is derived from that of Chryseis, a character who appears in the "Iliad" but has no connection with Troilus, Diomedes or Calchas. Indeed, the story of Troilus and Cressida does not appear in any Greek legends but was invented by the twelfth century French poet Benoît de Sainte-Maure in the "Roman de Troie". The woman in the love triangle is here called not Cressida but Briseida, a name derived from that of Briseis, a different character in the "Iliad", who again is neither related to Calchas nor involved in any love affairs with Troilus or Diomedes. Initially, after the "Roman" appeared, other authors who refer to the story, for example, Azalais d'Altier in her poem "Tanz salutz e tantas amors" and Guido delle Colonne in his "Historia destructionis Troiae", continue to use names derived from that of Briseis.
