Re: Briseis
I don't think Briseis had a huge amount of text dedicated to her, but her role was pivotal in explaining Achilles' actions, since most of what he does at Troy hinges on Briseis. Later traditions tend to embroider her role a bit, including giving quite a detailed account of her appearance and so forth.
