Eurybates and Talthybius lead Briseis to Agamemnon

In Greek mythology, Eurybates was the herald for the Greek armies during the Trojan War. He served as Odysseus's squire.He is humorously described as hump-backed, of a brown complexion, and with curly hair; but he was honoured by his master, since he was kind and obedient. (Homer Iliad. i. 319, ii. 184, ix. 170, Odyssey. xix. 246.)
