1. rhesus

   Rhesus is a term often associated with a certain species of monkey known as the Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta), native to South, Central, and Southeast Asia. It's also linked to the Rhesus factor, a specific antigen present in the blood. This factor was discovered through research done on Rhesus monkeys, therefore the name. So, depending on the context, Rhesus could refer to either the monkey species or the blood antigen factor.

1. Rhesus

   Rhesus is an Athenian tragedy that belongs to the transmitted plays of Euripides. There has been debate about its authorship. It was understood to be by Euripides in the Hellenistic, Imperial, and Byzantine periods. In the 17th century, however, the play's authenticity was challenged, first by Joseph Scaliger and subsequently by others, largely on stylistic grounds. Modern scholarship agrees with the classical authorities and ascribes the play to Euripides. Rhesus takes place during the Trojan War, on the night when Odysseus and Diomedes sneak into the Trojan camp. The same event is narrated in book 10 of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad.
