Talk:Cressida

Not sure if this qualifies as "modern drama" or is notable enough, but Cressida was the name of a kestrel taken to war by a British soldier named Gerald Summers. The falcon accompanied him to the African theatre of WWII and through several POW camps. He later wrote a book about the experience, "Lure of the Falcon" (1972).

NO IT DOESN'T QUALIFY.

SO...doctor who. WHY is it on this page? "Vicki meets Priam, King of Troy" WHY LORD WHY?????? 87.74.4.241 (talk) 10:57, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• • Don't be elitist. It was a major television production featuring the character of Cressida in a fictional context. I have, however, rewritten the paragraph to be more palatable to those unfamiliar with the TV series. This is not the same as Lure of the Falcon which does not feature Cressida in any way, unlike Doctor Who which does. 68.146.64.9 (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

So I just notice that Cressida is supposedly the daughter of Calchas and is Trojan. Except that Calchas is actually a native of Argos. So how can she be Trojan? I suppose it make sense since she is a made up character from the 12th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fbiuzz (talk • contribs) 02:23, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

See this line in the entry on Calchas: "In medieval and later versions of the myth, Calchas is portrayed as a Trojan defector and the father of Chryseis, now called Cressida." 81.26.251.117 (talk) 12:50, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
