Talthybius

Talthybius

Talthybius (Greek: Ταλθύβιος) was herald and friend to Agamemnon in the Trojan War. He was the one who took Briseis from the tent of Achilles. Preceding the duel of Menelaus and Paris, Agamemnon charges him to fetch a sheep for sacrifice. He died at Aegium in Achaia. He appears in the plays "The Women of Troy" and "Hecuba", both by the ancient playwright Euripides. He is mentioned in Il. 1.320, 3.118, 4.192, 7.276, 19.196, 250, 267, 23.897.
