In Greek Mythology Talthybius (gr. Ταλθύβιος, Ταλθύβιος ) was herald and friend to Agamemnon in theTrojan 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 also appears in the play "The Women of Troy" - a play by the ancient playwright Euripides. He is mentioned in Iliad. 1.320, 3.118, 4.192, 7.276, 19.196, 250, 267, 23.897.
