Record Number: 2159 Author(s)/Creator(s): Whitney , Susan B. Contributor(s): Title: Chaucer's Flexippe [The author suggests that the name Flexippe for one of the nieces of Criseyde is intended to remind readers of Plexippus, Meleager's uncle, whom Meleager slays for taking his gift from Atalanta. This portion of "Troilus and Criseyde" has a number of allusions to tragic figures and events which color Criseyde's gradual acceptance of the love of Troilus.
