Cressida
Cressida was a Trojan woman who fell in love with Troilus, the youngest son of King Priam. She pledged everlasting love to him, but when she was sent to the Greeks as part of a hostage exchange, she formed a liaison with the Greek warrior Diomedes. In later culture, she became an archetype of a faithless lover.
