Fragment #11  Scholiast on Homer; Il。 iii。 242: For Helen had been previously carried off by Theseus; and it was in consequence of this earlier rape that Aphidna; a town in Attica; was sacked and Castor was wounded in the right thigh by Aphidnus who was king at that time。  Then the Dioscuri; failing to find Theseus; sacked Athens。  The story is in the Cyclic writers。

Plutarch; Thes。 32: Hereas relates that Alycus was killed by Theseus himself near Aphidna; and quotes the following verses in evidence: ‘In spacious Aphidna Theseus slew him in battle long ago for rich… haired Helen's sake。' (4)


Fragment #12  Scholiast on Pindar; Nem。 x。 114: (ll。 1…6) ‘Straightway Lynceus; trusting in his swift feet; made for Taygetus。  He climbed its highest peak and looked throughout the whole isle of Pelops; son of Tantalus; and soon the glorious hero with his dread eyes saw horse…taming Castor and athlete Polydeuces both hidden within a hollow oak。'

Philodemus; On Piety: (Stasinus?) writes that Castor was killed with a spear shot by Idas the son of Aphareus。


Fragment #13  Athenaeus; 35 C: ‘Menelaus; know that the gods made wine the best thing for mortal man to scatter cares。'


Fragment #14  Laurentian Scholiast on Sophocles; Elect。 157: Either he follows Homer who spoke of the three daughters of Agamemnon; or  like the writer of the 〃Cypria〃  he makes them four; (distinguishing) Iphigeneia and Iphianassa。


Fragment #15  (5) Contest of Homer and Hesiod: ‘So they feasted all day long; taking nothing from their own houses; for Agamemnon; king of men; provided for them。'


Fragment #16  Louvre Papyrus: ‘I never thought to enrage so terribly the stout heart of Achilles; for very well I loved him。'


Fragment #17  Pausanias; iv。 2。 7: The poet of the 〃Cypria〃 says that the wife of Protesilaus  who; when the Hellenes reached the Trojan shore; first dared to land  was called Polydora; and was the daughter of Meleager; the son of Oeneus。


Fragment #18  Eustathius; 119。 4: Some relate that Chryseis was taken from Hypoplacian (6) Thebes; and that she had not taken refuge there nor gone there to sacrifice to Artemis; as the author of the 〃Cypria〃 states; but was simply a fellow townswoman of Andromache。


Fragment #19  Pausanias; x。 31。 2: I know; because I have read it in the epic 〃Cypria〃; that Palamedes was drowned when he had gone out fishing; and that it was Diomedes and Odysseus who caused his death。


Fragment #20  Plato; Euthyphron; 12 A: ‘That it is Zeus who has done this; and brought all these things to pass; you do not like to say; for where fear is; there too is shame。'


Fragment #21  Herodian; On Peculiar Diction: ‘By him she conceived and bare the Gorgons; fearful monsters who lived in Sarpedon; a rocky island in deep…eddying Oceanus。'


Fragment #22  Clement of Alexandria; Stromateis vii。 2。 19: Again; Stasinus says: ‘He is a simple man who kills the father and lets the children live。'


ENDNOTES:

(1)  The preceding part of the Epic Cycle (?)。 (2)  While the Greeks were sacrificing at Aulis; a serpent      appeared and devoured eight young birds from their nest and      lastly the mother of the brood。  This was interpreted by      Calchas to mean that the war would swallow up nine full      years。  Cp。 〃Iliad〃 ii; 299 ff。 (3)  i。e。 Stasinus (or Hegesias: cp。 fr。 6): the phrase ‘Cyprian      histories' is equivalent to 〃The Cypria〃。 (4)  Cp。 Allen 〃C。R。〃 xxvii。 190。 (5)  These two lines possibly belong to the account of the feast      given by Agamemnon at Lemnos。 (6)  sc。 the Asiatic Thebes at the foot of Mt。 Placius。



THE AETHIOPIS (fragments)

Fragment #1  Proclus; Chrestomathia; ii: The 〃Cypria〃; described in the preceding book; has its sequel in the 〃Iliad〃 of Homer; which is followed in turn by the five books of the 〃Aethiopis〃; the work of Arctinus of Miletus。  Their contents are as follows。  The Amazon Penthesileia; the daughter of Ares and of Thracian race; comes to aid the Trojans; and after showing great prowess; is killed by Achilles and buried by the Trojans。  Achilles then slays Thersites for abusing and reviling him for his supposed love for Penthesileia。  As a result a dispute arises amongst the Achaeans over the killing of Thersites; and Achilles sails to Lesbos and after sacrificing to Apollo; Artemis; and Leto; is purified by Odysseus from bloodshed。

Then Memnon; the son of Eos; wearing armour made by Hephaestus; comes to help the Trojans; and Thetis tells her son about Memnon。

A battle takes place in which Antilochus is slain by Memnon and Memnon by Achilles。  Eos then obtains of Zeus and bestows upon her son immortality; but Achilles routs the Trojans; and; rushing into the city with them; is killed by Paris and Apollo。  A great struggle for the body then follows; Aias taking up the body and carrying it to the ships; while Odysseus drives off the Trojans behind。  The Achaeans then bury Antilochus and lay out the body of Achilles; while Thetis; arriving with the Muses and her sisters; bewails her son; whom she afterwards catches away from the pyre and transports to the White Island。  After this; the Achaeans pile him a cairn and hold games in his honour。  Lastly a dispute arises between Odysseus and Aias over the arms of Achilles。


Fragment #2  Scholiast on Homer; Il。 xxiv。 804: Some read: ‘Thus they performed the burial of Hector。  Then came the Amazon; the daughter of great…souled Ares the slayer of men。'


Fragment #3  Scholiast on Pindar; Isth。 iii。 53: The author of the 〃Aethiopis〃 says that Aias killed himself about dawn。



THE LITTLE ILIAD (fragments)

Fragment #1  Proclus; Chrestomathia; ii: Next comes the 〃Little Iliad〃 in four books by Lesches of Mitylene: its contents are as follows。  The adjudging of the arms of Achilles takes place; and Odysseus; by the contriving of Athena; gains them。  Aias then becomes mad and destroys the herd of the Achaeans and kills himself。  Next Odysseus lies in wait and catches Helenus; who prophesies as to the taking of Troy; and Diomede accordingly brings Philoctetes from Lemnos。  Philoctetes is healed by Machaon; fights in single combat with Alexandrus and kills him: the dead body is outraged by Menelaus; but the Trojans recover and bury it。  After this Deiphobus marries Helen; Odysseus brings Neoptolemus from Scyros and gives him his father's arms; and the ghost of Achilles appears to him。

Eurypylus the son of Telephus arrives to aid the Trojans; shows his prowess and is killed by Neoptolemus。  The Trojans are now closely beseiged; and Epeius; by Athena's instruction; builds the wooden horse。  Odysseus disfigures himself and goes in to Ilium as a spy; and there being recognized by Helen; plots with her for the taking of the city; after killing certain of the Trojans; he returns to the ships。  Next he carries the Palladium out of Troy with help of Diomedes。  Then after putting their best men in the wooden horse and burning thei
