Alcmeonis
andrea debiasi
THE ALCMEONIS BETWEEN THE THEBAN
AND THE TROJAN CYCLES
Seven fragments of the epic Alcmeonis remain that were transmitted by
various sources. The work is reported anonymous, with the circumlocution
‘the author of the Alcmeonis’ (ὁ τὴν ᾿Αλκμαιωνίδα πεποιηκώς / ποιήσας /
γράψας / γεγραφώς) being used in all the extant quotations.1 Additional
passages that have some chance belonging to the poem can be added to
these relics.
The inclusion of the Alcmeonis to the Epic Cycle is much debated. The
sources do not explicitly mention it. Yet the plot fits well in such a framework.
Alcmaon, a prominent figure within the Theban saga, is the main character
being the son of Amphiaraus, one of the Seven who failed the assault on
Thebes (subject of the epic Thebaid) and himself one of the Epigonoi (the
sons of the Seven) who destroyed Thebes in the subsequent campaign.2
The thematic congruity with the epic Epigonoi is clear, at least in the initial
part. This led some scholars to postulate an equivalence between the two
epics, where the Alcmeonis would be an alternative title of the Epigonoi or a
(sub)title of a specific section of it.3 This suggestion that is consistent with
a well-documented custom in the ancient epics cannot be ruled out.4
Nevertheless such arguments are not strong enough to dismiss the preponderant position regarding the Epigonoi and the Alcmeonis as two separate
1
2

PEG F 7 (= D., W.) maintains the original form of the title (Alkmeonis), elsewhere changed to
Alkmaeonis. As West (2003a: 5 n. 3) points out: ‘Alcmaon is the epic form of the name, Alcmeon
the Attic, Alcman the Doric; Alcmaeon is a false spelling.’
For an historical and archaeological contextualization of both the expeditions, see Schachter
(1967); Brillante (1980: 336).
Welcker (1865: 195); more extensively Printz (1979: 166–87). See also Cingano, above in this
volume, p. 257.
Within the Theban Cycle, cf. the title Amphiaraou exelasis most likely a part of the Thebaid:
see Davies (1989c: 29); West (2003a: 9). Discussion of similar cases, concerning epics datable
to the sixth century BC, in Debiasi (2003; 2010) (poems connected to the Cypselid Corinth).
The practice can be found in the corpus of Eumelus of Corinth: see Debiasi (2004: 36–7;
2013a).

poems.5 Cases of distinct epics sharing themes and episodes are common.6
Apart from some divergences surmised for some narrative details, the independence of the Alcmeonis from the Epigonoi is supported by its being a
poem ‘wide in scope and diffuse in content’,7 rich in flashbacks and digressions, to such an extent that it would be excessive as a section of a poem, the
Epigonoi, said to have been of 7,000 lines.8 The successful expedition against
Thebes, that formed the thematic core of the Epigonoi, should have taken up
less space in the Alcmeonis, being just one of several episodes of Alcmaon’s
heroic biography. Also, the constant and uniform quotation of the anonymous ‘author of the Alcmeonis’ appears heterogeneous with respect to the
sources that allege more than one authorship (Homer, Antimachus) for the
Epigonoi,9 with consequent discrepancy.10 The arrival of Teiresias’ daughter
Manto at Claros, in the Colophon district, as reported in Epig. PEG F 3 =
3 D. = 4 W., implies a background in Asia Minor compatible with the
ascription of the Epigonoi to Antimachus of Teos,11 whereas it hardly fits
with the environment from which the Alcmeonis originates. This, we will
see, must be placed in the Cypselid Corinth, as suggested by several data,
among which the role assigned in the poem to the Delphic oracle and to
Acarnania.12
Seen from the vantage point of an original distinction, the notion which
recognizes the Alcmeonis as a later poem inspired by the epic Epigonoi is
well grounded, whereas the Epigonoi themselves are modelled after the older
Thebaid (a poem well-known to the author of the Alcmeonis as well).13

Cf. in the Theban Cycle the last section of the Oedipodea overlapping with the Thebaid: see
Severyns (1928: 211–16); Cingano (2002–3: 56). For the Trojan Cycle, see Burgess (2001: 21–2).
Huxley (1969: 52); cf. Gantz (1993: 527): ‘The poem Alkmaionis covered a broad range of
material.’

Epig. PEG T 1–2 = F 1 D. = W. The way Herod. 4.32 (= Epig. PEG F 2 = D. = F 5 W.)
expresses doubts about Homer’s authorship of the Epigonoi is indicative of an opposition to a
well-established belief: see Wilamowitz (1884: 352).
Epig. PEG F 3 = D.= F 4 W.: quotation from the Thebaid, ‘assumed to be an error for the
Epigonoi ’ (West 2003a: 59 n. 14; cf. Davies 1989c: 31). Cf. Epig. PEG F °5 = p. 74, F 1 D. =

In Epig. PEG F 3 (= D. = F 4 W.) Manto came from Delphi to Claros, where she established a
shrine for Apollo. This version seems concocted by the Clarian priesthood in opposition to the
Delphic version according to which Teiresias’ daughter stayed in Delphi, where she was sent
from Thebes by the Epigonoi as a thanks offering: cf. Ps.-Apollod. Bibl. 3.7.3–4 (from the
Alcmeonis?). See Sakellariou (1958: 152–60).
Bethe (1894: 1563); Legras (1905: 91–5, 108); especially Severyns (1925: 176–81); (1928:
224–37).
Alcmeonis
Based on its fragments the Alcmeonis appears not only as sequel of the
Theban Cycle, represented by the triad Oedipodea – Thebaid – Epigonoi,
but also as a compelling link with the Trojan Cycle, evoked by figures such
as the Epigonoi and other heroes that in the myth are connected with the
siege of Troy.14 The narrative chronology of the poem takes place between
the events reported in the Epigonoi and those narrated in the Cypria. This
accounts for the placing of the Alcmeonis between these two poems in some
editions of the Greek epic fragments.15
Whether the inclusion of the Alcmeonis in the canonical Epic Cycle is
admitted or not, an evaluation of the Cycle must consider such a poem,
inherently placed at the crossroads between the two sagas, Theban and
Trojan, which pervade the Cycle.
THE PLOT
Although not explicitly mentioning the Alcmeonis, some texts allow reconstructing the poem’s basic plot. This must have been arranged around
three main themes: the expedition against Thebes, Alcmaon’s murder of his
mother and the wanderings of the hero through Greece. The most comprehensive account of Alcmaon’s deeds can be found in Ps.-Apollodorus (Bibl.
3.7.2–6), in a section which, more or less indirectly, mirrors the poem’s
plot, even if abridged and subjected to the intrusion of different elements
(especially tragic).16
In Bibl. 3.7.2–4 Alcmaon is portrayed as the leader of the Epigonoi,
a necessary condition for the victory over Thebes according to an oracle of Apollo.17 The role of Alcmaon as the ‘best of the Epigonoi’ must
have distinguished the Alcmeonis from the earlier version ascribable to the
Epigonoi,18 which has Aegialeus, son of Adrastus, the leader of the Seven, as

Immisch (1889: 183–4); Severyns (1928: 224–5, 229–36); Bernabé (1979: 81). The link with the
Trojan Cycle also informed the Epigonoi, although in a more basic way: cf. Cingano (2002–3:
58, 76; 2004a: 61).
PEG pp. 32–6, cf. Bernabé (1979: 80–92); West (2003a: 58–63), whose text of the fragments I
am using in this chapter. As Kinkel (1877: 76–7) before, the fragments of the Alcmeonis are
separately edited by Davies (1988: 139–40), who supports a limited definition of the Epic Cycle
(Davies 1986: 95–8).
Sakellariou (1958: 156–7 n. 3, 159); Jouan (1990: 159). Ps.-Apollodorus quotes the Alcmeonis
in Bibl. 1.8.5 (= PEG F 4 = D., W.).
Cf. Diod. 4.66, largely drawing from the Alcmeonis, according to Sakellariou (1958: 156–7 n. 3,
159).
For this distinction, see Bethe (1891a: esp. 136; 1894: 1563); Severyns (1928: 225); Sakellariou
(1958: 159 and n. 3).

commander.19 The list of eight Epigonoi headed by Alcmaon in Bibl. 3.7.2
(‘Alcmaon and Amphilochus, sons of Amphiaraus; Aegialeus, son of Adrastus; Diomedes, son of Tydeus; Promachus, son of Parthenopaeus; Sthenelus,
son of Capaneus; Thersander, son of Polynices; Euryalus, son of Mecisteus’)
is almost identical to that of the monument of the Epigonoi in Delphi
commemorating the victory of the Argives over the Spartans at Oinoe,20
and could possibly go back to the Alcmeonis (PEG F 11°).21 Some uncertainty still remains, due to the inconsistency of the traditions concerning
the names of both the Seven and the Epigonoi.22
Ps.-Apollodorus (Bibl. 3.7.5–6) further relates the madness and the vicissitudes of Alcmaon after the murder of his mother Eriphyle. Bribed by
Polynices with the gift of the golden necklace of Harmonia, she forced her
husband Amphiaraus to join the expedition of the Seven against his will (as
a seer Amphiaraus predicted his doom).23 It is a widespread opinion that in
the Alcmeonis both the matricide and the related motif of the hero’s being
driven mad by his mother’s Erinyes have occurred before the campaign
against Thebes, in compliance with the injunction that Amphiaraus gave to
Alcmaon, as he prepared to set out. Such an account is recorded by Asclepiades of Tragilus (FgrHist 12 F 29) ap. Σ Od. 11.326 (= Alcm. PEG F °8 [I]),24
according to whom Amphiaraus commanded his son to avenge him before
marching on Thebes.25 If it is true that Asclepiades often summarizes the
epic traditions which inspired the tragedians, in this case he rather seems
to be drawing directly from a tragedy in which the sequence matricide (and
subsequent madness, quickly removed by the gods ‘since Alcmaon faithfully
obeyed his father by slaying his mother’) and expedition was not followed

Paus. 10.10.4. In the monument the statues of the Epigonoi are seven, Amphilochus being
excluded, unless Gantz (1993: 524) is right in observing that ‘Pausanias says in passing that
Alkmaion was honored before Amphilochos because he was older, which may mean that the
younger brother was also present.’
Bethe (1894: 1563); Pomtow (1908: 321–5; 1924: 1228).
Even so Cingano (2002: 39–40, 46 n. 62) seems overly sceptical. No more convincing is the
hypothesis of Robert (1921: 950–1), who denies the Alcmeonis the expedition of the Epigonoi
and regards such a list as mirroring that of the Seven in the Thebaid.
Eriphyle’s arbitration would be final, in case of disagreement between her husband
Amphiaraus and her brother Adrastus, both rulers of Argos, since Adrastus was reconciled
with Amphiaraus and came back from Sicyon (where he had inherited the kingdom of
Polybus). Cf. Σ Pind. Nem. 30b, likely drawing from epics (e.g. the Thebaid (cf. F 7∗ W.), or
also the Alcmeonis): see Hubbard (1992: 87–92, esp. 91).

by the hero’s wanderings.26 These wanderings represent an essential component within the epic plot and must be explained in connection with the
recent bloodguilt and the subsequent need of Alcmaon to seek purification
in order to free himself from madness and to settle in an uncontaminated
land.27 This is indeed what we find in Ps.-Apollodorus’ account (Bibl. 3.7.2
and 5; cf. 3.6.2): although Alcmaon received from his father the order to
avenge him, he deferred the matricide. The murder was triggered, in accordance with an oracle given by Apollo, when Alcmaon learned that Eriphyle
had been bribed for a second time having persuaded him to go to the war
after receiving the robe of Harmonia from Polynices’ son Thersander.28
Once mad, Alcmaon leaves Argos, the scene of the crime, and begins
his wanderings. Ps.-Apollodorus’ narration from now onwards has several
points of contact with Pausanias’ account about Arcadia (8.24.8–10), which
is both the first and the last stop of Alcmaon’s travels. Alcmaon first repairs
to his paternal grandfather Oicles, and thence to Phegeus at Psophis. Having
been purified by Phegeus he marries his daughter Arsinoe29 and gives her
the necklace and the robe of Harmonia, which he took from his mother.
Still the purification turns out to be ineffective.30 The Pythia commands
Alcmaon to seek further purification in a land not in existence at the time of
his mother’s murder. The quest begins and after some adventures in Aetolia
and Thesprotia, Alcmaon finds the desired land in the silts recently formed
at the mouth of the river Achelous, and there he founds a settlement. As
Phegeus before, the river god Achelous purifies Alcmaon and gives him
as wife his daughter Callirrhoe who bears him two sons, Amphoterus and
Acarnan. The Delphic oracle given to Alcmaon and the figure of Acarnan,
eponym of the country over which he ruled with his father, are also found

The vicissitudes of Eriphyle and Alcmaon were popular subjects in the Attic tragedy.
Sophocles, who wrote an Alcmeon, certainly dealt with the slaying of Eriphyle in his Epigonoi
(also the title of a play of Aeschylus) that possibly coincides with the tragedy Eriphyle (TrGF
F 187). Euripides devoted two plays to Alcmaon: Alcmeon in Psophis and Alcmeon in Corinth.
See Gantz (1993: 523); Olivieri (2013); Sommerstein, below in this volume, p. 483.
One might assume that the motif of the persecution by the mother’s Erinyes stems from some
tragedies; not so for the madness itself (a constant feature in the sources) which leads to
Alcmaon’s travels. See Prinz (1979: 174–6); West (2003a: 11).
On the epic motif of the second bribing (most likely adopted by Stesichorus in the Eriphyle: cf.
PMGF S148), see Gantz (1993: 525); Olivieri (2004: 83–5); cf. Prinz (1979: 174–6); Breglia
Pulci Doria (1991–4: 129).
In the tragedians and in Pausanias she is named Alphesiboea. Ps.-Apollodorus ‘clearly is not
always drawing from the same source as Pausanias’ (Gantz 1993: 527).
Because the land becomes infertile (Ps.-Apollodorus) and/or Alcmaon’s disease did not grow
any better (Pausanias).

in Thucydides in a section (2.102.5–6), which has been justifiably traced
back to the Alcmeonis (PEG F °10).31
Alcmaon is finally overcome by the rivalry between his two wives. Forced
to return to Psophis to get Harmonia’s robe and necklace, under the pretext
of dedicating them to Delphi but intending to give them to Callirrhoe, he is
ambushed by the sons of Phegeus who kill him.32 Being suddenly full-grown
with Zeus’ help, Amphoterus and Acarnan take vengeance on their father’s
slayers, by killing first the sons of Phegeus, and then both Phegeus and his
wife.33
THE FRAGMENTS
PEG F 1 (= D., W.), from Σ Eur. Andr. 687
καὶ ὁ τὴν ᾿Ακλμαιωνίδα πεποιηκώς φησι περὶ τοῦ Φώκου:

And the author of the Alcmeonis says about Phocus:
There godlike Telamon hit him on the head with a
wheel-shaped discus, and Peleus quickly raised his arm
above his head and struck him in the middle of his back with
a bronze axe.
PEG F 2 (= D., W.), from Athenaeus 11.460b

Their names diverge in the sources: Pronous and Agenor in Ps.-Apollodorus, Temenus and
Axion in Pausanias, who also documents a tomb (and the related hero cult) of Alcmaon at
Psophis: cf. Olivieri (2010: 307 n. 40).
This section of the tale is more affected by the contributions of the tragic tradition (possibly
Sophocles’ Alcmeon and Euripides’s Alcmeon in Psophis): see Jouan (1990: 159 nn. 21, 23);
Gantz (1993: 526–7).

Zagreus: the one who greatly hunts, as the writer of the Alcmeonis said:
Mistress Earth, and Zagreus highest of all the gods.
PEG F 4 (= D., W.), from Ps.-Apollod. Bibl. 1.8.5
Τυδεὺς δὲ ἀνήρ γενόμενος γενναῖος ἐφυγαδεύθη κτείνας, ὡς μέν τινες

Tydeus grew into a gallant man, but was forced into exile after killing,
as some say, Oineus’ brother Alcathous, but as the writer of the Alcmeonis says, the sons of Melas, who were plotting against Oineus: Pheneus,
Euryalus, Hyperlaus, Antiochus, Eumedes, Sternops, Xanthippus, and
Sthenelaus.
PEG F 5 (= F 6 D. = F 5 W.), from Strab. 10.2.9

But the writer of the Alcmeonis says that Icarius, Penelope’s father, had
two sons, Alyzeus and Leucadius, and that they ruled with their father in
Acamania.

[Euripides] would appear to be following the author of the Alcmeonis in
regard to the story about the lamb, as Dionysius the Cyclographer also
says. Pherecydes says that it was not from Hermes’ wrath that the lamb
was put into the flock, but from Artemis’. And the writer of the Alcmeonis
calls the shepherd who brought the lamb to Atreus Antiochus.

῾Ησί]οδος καὶ ὁ τὴν [᾿Αλκμ]εωνίδα ποή[σας, καὶ] Σοφοκλῆς κτλ. (TrGF
F 278).
And the life in the time of Cronus was most happy, as [Hesi]od and the
author of the [Alcm]eonis have written, and Sophocles etc.
In most cases it is difficult to determine how the surviving fragments should
be placed in such a frame. We learn from Philodemus (De piet. B 6978
Obbink) that ‘the life in the time of Cronus was most happy, as [Hesi]od
and the author of [Alcm]eonis have written’ (PEG F 7 = D., W.). The
comparison with Hesiod, Works and Days 109–26 (golden age ‘in the time
of Cronus’)35 and the role of the Alcmeonis as a link between the Theban
and the Trojan Cycle make it an attractive hypothesis that the Alcmeonis
could hint at an epochal caesura produced by the Theban and the Trojan
Wars just as the myth of the five ages does in the Works and Days.36
Athenaeus 11.460b, after claiming that Semonides of Amorgos was the
first poet who spoke of ‘drinking cups’ (ποτήρια), quotes three lines from
the Alcmeonis (PEG F 2 = D., W.).37 The funeral banquet may have occurred
in more than one context in a poem that did not lack slayings and battles, nor
must we necessarily assume that Alcmaon was the subject.38 Nonetheless
the more plausible interpretation remains the one recognizing the funeral
honours to be those rendered by the leader of the Epigonoi Alcmaon to the
warriors fallen in the final clash at Thebes. In such case the corpses should
be those of Aegialeus, the only Epigonos perished during the siege, and of
his slayer Laodamas, son of Eteocles and king of Thebes, who was killed in
battle by Alcmaon himself as reported by Ps.-Apollodorus (Bibl. 3.7.3).39

Among the adventures of Alcmaon narrated by Ps.-Apollodorus the expeditions in Aetolia and
Thesprotia (about which see Jouan 1990: 159–61) must have included some battle casualties;
other illustrious slain were Phegeus with his family, exterminated by the sons of Alcmaon. A
further group of dead in the Alcmeonis is represented by the sons of Melas, murdered by their
cousin Tydeus (PEG F 4 = D., W.).
Huxley (1969: 53). In another account Laodamas, having killed Aegialeus, is not slain by
Alcmaon but flies to Illyria: cf. Herod. 5.61.2; Paus. 9.5.13 and 9.8.6. Olivieri (2004: 90) detects
in the burial of a Theban (Laodamas) by an Argive (Alcmaon) a parallel with (and a reversal
Alcmeonis
The description of Alcmaon officiating the funeral rites at the end of the
expedition of the Epigonoi would be in contrast with the motif, revisited
by the tragedians but probably already present in the Epigonoi and/or in
the Alcmeonis (with innovation with respect to the Thebaid), of the burial
denied to the Seven (all perished except Adrastus).40 The enterprise of
the Seven, and especially the deeds of Alcmaon’s father Amphiaraus must
have been somehow mentioned in the Alcmeonis. In the Thebaid (PEG F
9 = F 5 D. = F 9 W.) Amphiaraus kills the Theban Melanippus, beheads
him, and throws the head to Tydeus who demands it in order to take
revenge of the fatal wound he received by Melanippus. Tydeus gobbles
Melanippus’ brain but loses the favour of Athena who turns away from him,
withholding the gift of immortality. Ps.-Apollodorus (Bibl. 3.6.8) preserves
another version: Tydeus kills Melanippus, whereas Amphiaraus, moved by
hate against Tydeus who advocated the war against Thebes, on his own
initiative cuts off the head of the Theban hero and gives it to Tydeus in order
to provoke the condemnation of Athena. This archaic version has been
plausibly traced back to Stesichorus’ Eriphyle, ‘possibly with the mediation
of another source’.41 We may conjecture such a source to be the Epigonoi or
more likely the Alcmeonis.42
The poem gave Tydeus much room, not only in connection to the expedition of the Seven but also to its antecedents. Ps.-Apollodorus (Bibl. 1.8.5)
records that ‘Tydeus grew into a gallant man, but was forced into exile
after killing, as some say, Oeneus’ brother Alcathous, but as the writer of
the Alcmeonis says, the sons of Melas, who were plotting against Oeneus:
Pheneus, Euryalus, Hyperlaus, Antiochus, Eumedes, Sternops, Xanthippus,
and Sthenelaus’ (PEG F 4 = D., W.). As in the likely case of the duel between
Tydeus and Melanippus, similarly here the Alcmeonis seems to modify the
narration of the Thebaid, where the relatives killed by Tydeus must have
been three: the uncle Melas and his sons Lycopeus and Alcathous.43 Such

an Argive (Tydeus) by a Theban (Maeon).
See Legras (1905: 80–3); Severyns (1928: 223–5), according to whom the Thebaid must have
ended with the funeral of the Seven.

‘The Eriphyle must have embraced pretty much the same material’ of the Alcmeonis (Davies
1989c: 32). Steichorus’ poem must as well have included a retrospection of the expedition of
the Seven, as results from PMGF 194 (i–v), where Asclepius restores to life some of the
deceased warriors. The main themes of Steischorus’ poem were Eriphyle’s two betrayals and
the vengeance of Alcmaon, as especially PMGF S148 (dialogue between Adrastus and
Alcmaon) leads to believe: see above, n. 28.

an episode, featuring a murder committed within the family circle in order
to avenge the father, recalls that of Alcmaon and serves to explain Tydeus’
move from Calydon, in Aetolia, to Argos. Like Alcmaon later, Tydeus as
well went into exile and was purified in another land by a king (Adrastus)
who gave him as wife his daughter (Deipyle). The importance given to the
prophecy in the Alcmeonis leads as to believe that the poem mentioned, or
at least hinted at, the encounter between Tydeus and Polynices, both having
arrived to Adrastus’ palace as exils: then Adrastus recognized them as the
boar and the lion who, according to an oracle by Apollo, should become his
sons-in-law.44
A single line of the Alcmeonis (PEG F 3 = D., W.), transmitted by the Etymologicum Gudianum (s.v. ‘Ζαγρεύς’),45 contains the invocation ‘Mistress
Earth, and Zagreus highest of all the gods’, which can refer to Delphi, or alternatively to the Theban background connected with the expeditions of both
the Seven and the Epigonoi. A plausible explanation ascribes these words to
Alcmaon, during his consultation of the Delphic oracle, as soon as his staying
at Psophis proved fruitless. Among the several consultations of the Delphic
oracle disseminated in the poem this one in particular, directing Alcmaon
to a land that had ‘not been seen by the sun at the time of his matricide’,46 is
consistent with such an invocation to the Earth and to Zagreus, a god of the
underworld. In a tradition, popular among the Orphics, Zagreus is Dionysus in an older guise, as son of Zeus and Persephones. He was torn to pieces
by the Titans and buried by Apollo near the oracular tripod at Delphi.47
Another possible hypothesis is that the line belongs to a prayer in which
Alcmaon calls the powers of the earth to evoke the oracle of Amphiaraus.48
During the rout of the Seven’s army near Thebes, Zeus split the earth and
Amphiaraus vanished with his chariot before Periclimenus could strike him
in the back. He remained alive underground whence he kept on issuing
prophecies.49 In a passage of Pindar (Pyth. 8.39–55), most likely inspired
by the Alcmeonis, Amphiaraus predicts to the Epigonoi the victory over

Alcmeonis
Thebes primarily due to the bravery of the real leader of the expedition, Alcmaon.50 The invocation addressed to both the Earth and Zagreus
by Alcmaon and/or other Epigonoi may well belong to such oracular
consultation.51 Similarly some lines containing an admonishment and a
precept (the so-called ‘norm of the polyp’) addressed by Amphiaraus to
his younger son Amphilochus can possibly be traced back to this specific
oracular context.52
The arrival to the land newly formed at the mouth of Achelous is a
crucial point in the narration of the Alcmeonis. It is in this context that
the genealogy attributed by Strabo 10.2.9 to the ‘writer of the Alcmeonis’
(PEG F 5 = F 6 D. = F 5 W.) must have been mentioned: for he ‘says that
Icarius, Penelope’s father, had two sons, Alyzeus and Leucadius, and that
they ruled with their father in Acarnania’. Icarius, with his sons, eponyms
of the Acarnanian town Alyzea and of the nearby island of Leucas, is a
sort of forerunner of Alcmaon. Like Icarius, Alcmaon rules the country
with two sons: Amphoterus53 and the eponym of the region Acarnan.54
The reference to Odyssean characters does not surprise, since Alcmaon’s
biography sums up both ‘Iliadic’ episodes, first of all the expedition against
Thebes, and ‘Odyssean’ episodes, characterized by the long wandering.55 In
the very same passage Strabo informs us that the mythical eponyms Alyzeus
and Leucadius were also found in Ephorus (FgrHist 70 F 124). Soon after
this Strabo provides further details concerning Icarius which, through the
mediation of Ephorus, may go back to the Alcmeonis: Icarius and Tyndareus,
after being banished by their brother Hippocoon from Lacedaemon, ‘went to

Welcker (1882: 381–2), tracing back Pindar’s passage to the Epigonoi (cf. Bernabé 1979: 73), in
his opinion coinciding with the Alcmeonis (see above, n. 3.); cf. Wolff (1884–6: 300). The
oracle in Pind. Pyth. 8.39–55 ought to be identified with the Amphiaraion mentioned by
Herod. 8.134 (cf. 1.46; 49; 52; 92) rather than with the oracle in Oropos (where, according to
Paus. 9.8.3, Amphiaraus issued prophecies to the Epigonoi): see Hubbard (1992: 101–7). Cf.
Giannini in Gentili (2006: 573–4), who considers such consultation occurred during the siege
of Thebes, when the Argives lead by Alcmaon were under the attack of the Thebans
commanded by Laodamas.

river, at the bounds of Aitolia and Akarnania’ (Huxley 1969: 51 n. 1); cf. Löffler (1963: 56).
The fact that Alcmaon should have been contemporary of Alyzeus and Leucadius must have
not represented a problem for the author of a poem where ‘conflicting stories explaining
different events may have crowded together under its aegis’ (Gantz 1993: 527); cf. Jouan (1990:
162).
Cf. Cingano (2002-3: 75). The only Homeric mentions of Amphiaraus and his sons Alcmaon

Thestius, the ruler of the Pleuronians, and helped him to acquire possession
of much of the country on the far side of the Achelous on condition that they
should receive a share of it; Tyndareus however, went back home, having
married Leda, the daughter of Thestius, whereas Icarius stayed on, keeping
a portion of Acarnania, and by Polycaste, the daughter of Lygaeus, begot
both Penelope and her brothers’.56
Shortly after, Strabo (10.2.25; cf. 7.7.7) recalls Ephorus (FgrHist 70 F 123
a–b) according to whom Alcmaon joined Diomedes, his fellow in the previous war against Thebes, in an expedition in Aetolia aiming at restoring the
reign of Oeneus. Having defeated the enemies of Diomedes’ grandfather,
Alcmaon passed into Acarnania and subdued it. In the meantime Agamemnon attacked the Argives and prevailed over them. Later, when the expedition against Troy confronted him, Agamemnon, concerned that the heirs of
Adrastus (Diomedes) and of Amphiaraus (Alcmaon) might come back and
regain Argos during his absence, invited them both to resume possession of
it and to take part in the war. Although Diomedes was persuaded, Alcmaon
refused the invitation, and remained in Acarnania, so named after his son
Acarnan. There he founded a city and named it Argos Amphilochicon after
his brother Amphilochus. We are led to trace back to the poem this information as well (PEG F °9 [I-II]),57 based on the parallelisms with other
texts going back to the Alcmeonis, such as the sovereignty of Alcmaon and
Acarnan over Acarnania, the foundation of a city by Alcmaon, the eponymic
function exercised by Acarnan and Amphilochus,58 and the reference to the
usurpation of Oeneus’ reign. This last incident was the basis for the episode,
possibly mentioned in the poem in such context (PEG F 4 = D., W.), of
the murder of his cousins by Tydeus with his subsequent exile to Argos
(where Deipyles bore him Diomedes).59 Whether the expedition in Aetolia
occurred in the poem shortly before Alcmaon’s arrival in Acarnania, as

between Telemachus and Nausicaa might have been in the Alcmeonis (cf. Hellan. FgrHist 4
F 156).

According to other traditions Amphilochus himself, the brother (Thuc. 2.68.3; cf. Hecat.
FgrHist 1 F 102c) or son (Ps.-Apollod. Bibl. 3.7.7, drawing on Euripides’ Alcmeon in Corinth)
of Alcmaon was the founder of Argos Amphilochicon.
The link between these events is confirmed by the Hellenistic Epyllium Diomedis (CA ep.
adesp. 2), inspired by the Alcmeonis: see CA p. 75; Huxley (1969: 51–2 n. 2). It touched upon
the slaying of the sons of Melas (line 21), the exile of Tydeus to Adrastus (cf. Alcm. PEG F 4 =
D., W.), as well as the siege of Argos during Diomedes’ absence: cf. Pellin (2007).
Alcmeonis
implied by Ephorus and as seems more straightforward from both a narrative and a geographical perspective,60 or whether it took place in an
earlier time,61 this event served as a link between those heroes pertaining to
the Theban Cycle and those pertaining to the Trojan Cycle. Agamemnon’s
request to join the expedition against Troy must be explained in view of the
oath sworn by Helen’s suitors that they would join in arms against anyone
who might take her by force; this oath was imposed, following an advice
of Odysseus, by Helen’s father Tyndareus (the same who with his brother
Icarius had been in Aetolia/Acarnania, where he married Leda, the daughter
of Thestius; it is from Icarius that Tindareus obtained Penelope as wife for
Odysseus).62 Thus the Alcmeonis provided an explanation for Alcmaon’s
absence in Troy: he remained in his brand new kingdom, in the near west,
whereas other Epigonoi, among whom Diomedes,63 embarked on a further
enterprise, far in the east.64
Likewise two fragments, transmitted by two scholia to Euripides, refer to
myths and characters presenting some analogies with the story of Alcmaon,
most likely being wide-ranging digressions. Σ Eur. Andr. 687 preserves three
lines of the Alcmeonis (PEG F 1 = D., W.) describing the killing of Phocus by
Telamon and Peleus. Once again we are facing a murder of kin: the tradition
is that Peleus and Telamon, sons of Aeacus and Endeis, killed during an
athletic contest their half-brother Phocus, born to Aeacus by Psamathe.65
The parallelism with the tale of Alcmaon becomes even stronger in the
light of the development reported by Pausanias 2.29.10: Telamon, being
banished together with Peleus from Aegina, was allowed by Aeacus to plead
his case provided that he did not land on the island, but remained in the
ship or alternatively on a mole raised in the sea. So he sailed by night into

the harbour called ‘Hidden’, and made a mole by pouring earth into the sea.
The aition matches well the tale of the land newly formed by silting at the
mouth of Achelous and may well have been in the Alcmeonis.66 The poem
must also have mentioned the exile of Telamon to Salamis after his plea of
innocence was not accepted; Peleus fled to Thessaly instead, first at Phthia,
where Eurytion purified him but later was accidentally killed by him, and
then to Iolcus, where he received a further purification by Acastus:67 this
sequence of events recalls that of Alcmaon going first to Phegeus and then to
Achelous. Together with the mentions of Telamon and Peleus the Alcmeonis
could hardly lack any reference to their sons, the eminent heroes of the
Trojan War Ajax and Achilles. The death of Phocus itself aims mostly to
give prominence to Achilles to whom Phocus was related not only from his
father’s side, but also his mother’s, since Psamathe was a Nereid sister of
Thetis.68 This link would become even stronger if the Alcmeonis provided
a stemma where Chiron was the father of Endeis, i.e. the grandfather of
Telamon and Peleus.69
Σ Eur. Or. 995 provides further evidence that the Alcmeonis (PEG F 6 =
F 5 D. = F 6 W.) included some narrations peripheral to the main plot. We
learn that ‘Euripides would appear to be following the author of the Alcmeonis, in regard to the story about the lamb.’70 This is the golden lamb that
Hermes arranged to put into Atreus’ flock in order to avenge his son Myrtilus
killed by Pelops: the lamb, having become a token of the kingship at Mycenae, caused contention between the Pelopids Atreus and Thyestes.71 The
poem was generous with details, as appears from the scholium according to
which ‘the writer of the Alcmeonis calls the shepherd who brought the lamb

Huxley (1969: 53); cf. Breglia Pulci Doria (1991–4: 131). The scepticism of Burnett (2005: 25
n. 62) is unwarranted: on the one hand the Alcmeonis did include extensive digressions, on the
other the rationalism of the aition fits well a poem where some of the numerous eponyms are
connected to historical settlements.

Plut. Thes. 10 Sciron begot Endeis by Chariclo. Yet in the myth Chariclo is Chiron’s wife,
whereas Chiron was born a centaur because Cronus changed into a horse in making love with
the Oceanid Philyra (Titan. PEG F 10 = F 9 D. = F 12 W.). A metamorphosis characterizes the
birth of Phocus as well, when the Nereid Psamathe tried to avoid the intercourse with Aeacus
by changing into a seal (φώκη, whence the name of her son).
See below, p. 278.
For a link Alcmaon/Pelopids, cf. Hes. Cat. F 193.1 M.-W. = F 90.1 Hirsch.: Alcmaon appears in
the context of the funeral of Oedipus; the latter was the husband of Astymedousa, daughter of
Nicippe, a Pelopid as well as her brothers Atreus and Thyestes (Cat. F 190–2 M.-W. = F 89
Hirsch.).
Alcmeonis
to Atreus Antiochus’. Both the premises and the development of the myth
must have been related, following a sequence of events roughly recognizable
in Ps.-Apollodorus Epit. 2.4–14.72 The killing of Myrtilus fits in the context
of the challenge opposing Pelops to Oenomaus, king of Pisa in Elis, for the
hand of the latter’s daughter, Hippodamia:73 Oenomaus would give Hippodamia as wife only to a suitor able to defeat him in a chariot race between Pisa
and the Isthmus of Corinth, which already caused the death of many suitors.
With the help of Oenomaus’ charioteer Myrtilus, Pelops defeated the king,
who, being entangled in the reins, was dragged to his death near the Isthmus.
Myrtilus, having himself fallen in love with Hippodamia, was subsequently
killed by Pelops, who threw him into the sea near Cape Geraestus in Euboea,
called after him the Myrtoan Sea. After being cleansed by Hephaestus, Pelops
succeeded Oenomaus and called the Peloponnesus after himself. The double
murder, the subsequent purification and the recurrent use of the eponyms fit
with the Alcmeonis, as well as the stage being set between Elis, Corinth (where
the poem originated) and Euboea.74 According to Pausanias, Clytius, the
progenitor of a clan of renowned soothsayers operating at Olympia, was
connected to the region of Elis: he was the son of Alcmaon by the daughter
of Phegeus, and he migrated to Elis being afraid of his mother’s brothers who
killed Alcmaon.75 The tradition preserved by Pindar according to which the
founder of the Olympic Games was Pelops is also remarkable: it should not
surprise us if the Alcmeonis mentioned it, given the tendency of early epic
poetry, such as that of Eumelus of Corinth, to celebrate the heroic origins
of the Panhellenic Games.76
With the device of the golden lamb, the vengeance of Hermes hit the
progeny of Pelops. Aerope, wife of Atreus, was seduced by Thyestes and
gave him the lamb. Thyestes became king of Mycenae until Atreus got this

chronological implications see, with divergent conclusions, West (2002a: 122–3; 130–1);
Debiasi (2004: 33 n. 91, 35 n. 99; 2013b: 533 n. 249). West (2003a: 7) speculates that the
tradition according to which the Nemean Games were instituted when the Seven paused at
Nemea while approaching Thebes, may have occurred in the Thebaid. Assuming the year 573
as terminus post quem, the Alcmeonis cannot be entirely dismissed as alternative.

kingdom with the help of the Olympians and banished Thyestes. Afterwards, having learnt about Aerope’s adultery, Atreus called Thyestes back,
slaughtered his sons, and surreptitiously served them to him during a banquet. Following the advice of the oracle of Apollo, Thyestes begot by his
own daughter Aegisthus who, grown to manhood, killed Atreus.77 The contention between Atreus and Thyestes for the kingship closely recalls that
between Eteocles and Polynices ‘for the sake of Oedipus’ sheep’, i.e. for
Oedipus’ kingdom.78 Aerope’s betrayal of Atreus represents a striking parallel to Eriphyle’s betrayal of Amphiaraus. The golden necklace given to
Eriphyle by Polynices has a symbolic equivalent in the golden lamb, object
of desire and source of calamities.79 Further developments of the myth, in
part already Homeric, must have been implied in the Alcmeonis. Aegisthus’
vengeance does not spare Atreus’ son Agamemnon. While Agamemnon was
engaged in besieging Troy, Aegisthus seduced his wife Clytemnestra (daughter of Tyndareus and Leda), and with her help he slew Agamemnon when he
came back to Mycenae. The blood chain continues with Agamemnon’s son
Orestes as he killed both his mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus
to avenge his father; the persecution by the Erinyes, the madness, and the
wanderings of the hero are consequent.80 The analogies with the vicissitudes of Alcmaon, already noticed by the ancients, seem too strong to not
assume some references or hints in the Alcmeonis to the story of Orestes.81
A final hypothesis may be advanced regarding the saga of the Pelopids in
the poem: the tradition records a first murder by Atreus and Thyestes, who
killed their half-brother Chrysippus and hence were sent into exile. This
episode represents an exact double of that involving Aeacus’ sons, where
Phocus is killed by Telamon and Peleus, and as such it may well go back to
the Alcmeonis.82

See Delcourt (1959: 38); West (2003a: 63 n. 19).
On this myth as a whole, see Gantz (1993: 664–86).
Cf. Eustath. on Od. 11.325 (1689.10) = Alcm. PEG F °8 (II). The comparative study of
Delcourt (1959) remains fundamental. Based on Ps.-Apollod. Bibl. 3.10.6, Broadbent (1968:
302) hypothesizes a tradition built on the Alcmeonis where, in addition to Penelope, Leucadius
and Alyzeus, Icarius would have a further son: Perileos/Perilaus, known as the prosecutor of
Orestes at his trial (cf. Paus. 8.34.4).
As in the murder of Phocus (see above, n. 65), the mother of the killers is involved also in that
of Chrysippus, where in some sources she is depicted as the instigator. According to these
sources Hippodamia either went into exile or committed suicide. On this episode
(documented as early as Hellan. FgrHist 4 F 157; Thuc. 1.9.2), see Gantz (1993: 489–90, 544–5).
Alcmeonis
A CORINTHIAN POEM OF THE TIME OF
THE CYPSELIDS
From the remaining fragments we derive a complex structure for the Alcmeonis, which appears abundant in myths, references, flashbacks, digressions
and parallelisms.83 The biography of the wandering hero Alcmaon entails
a variety of settings through different Greek regions.84 Numerous heroes
belonging to various generations appear in the main plot or alongside
it: beside the victorious warriors of the Theban and/or the Trojan War,
there must have been numerous mentions of their ancestors, parents and
sons. Some motifs occur very frequently: briberies, betrayals, confrontations between mother and son, murders of kin (mothers, (half-)brothers,
cousins, nephews), vengeances (especially for the fate of the fathers), exiles,
purifications.
The seven lines preserved by the three textual quotations (PEG F 1–3 =
D., W.) do not allow us to date the Alcmeonis on the basis of linguistic and
stylistic criteria. The reference to Alyzeus and Leucadius provides sound
evidence of the chronology of the Alcmeonis (cf. PEG F 5 = F 6 D. =
F 5 W.) in a more substantial way than the tenor of the work,85 its possible
orphic implications (cf. PEG F 3 = D., W.), and the lateness of the poem
claimed by Athenaeus in comparison with Semonides of Amorgos (cf. PEG
F 2 = D., W.).86 The implied connection with Leucas, a Corinthian (or
Corinthian–Corcyran) settlement established by the tyrant Cypselus and
later strengthened by his son Periander,87 points to the second half of the
seventh century, if not the beginning of the sixth century, as the terminus
post quem of the Alcmeonis, and locates its likely origin in the Corinthian
cultural environment at the time of the Cypselids.88 The dialectic insularity/mainland implied by the tale of the land formed by silting at the mouth of

Which presumes the diptych Thebaid/Epigonoi, and denotes a tendency to accumulation: see
above, nn. 13, 43.
Wilamowitz (1884: 214 n. 13). Cf. Pellizer (1983); Pellizer and Tedeschi (1990: ix–xvii).
Thus the two recorded chronologies can be made compatible: the ‘earlier’ after Cypselus’
accession in 657, around the middle of the seventh century (Strabo 10.2.8, in the same context
where he quotes Alcm. PEG F 5 = F 6 D. = F 5 W.; Nic. Dam. FgrHist 90 F 57.7); and the
‘lower’ during Periander’s late reign, in the sixth century (Plut. De Sera 7 = Mor. 552e): see de
Fidio (1997: 125–6); Piccirilli (1997: 154–5); Antonelli (2000: 87–101).
This was pointed out for the first time by Wilamowitz (1884: 73 n. 2). Cf. Immisch (1889: 140,
154, 185); Bethe (1894); Legras (1905: 22–3); more recently Sakellariou (1958: 159); Jouan
(1990: 163); Hilpert-Greger (1996: 66–8). Lowering the chronology by about a century
suggested by West (2003a: 110, ‘a sixth century or even early fifth-century date’) seems

Achelous (and possibly by the tale of the artificial mole made by Telamon at
Aegina) may reflect the interests of the Cypselids in digging canals through
isthmi, as was planned in Corinth, and accomplished in Leucas.89 Acarnania, with the relevant eponyms, plays a too significant role in the poem to
be unrelated to the colonization conducted, with Delphic approval, by the
Corinthian tyrants in Acarnania, Epirus and Illyria.90 Likewise the prominence given to Delphi and to prophecy91 must be connected with the period
of friendly relationship between the Cypselids and Delphi documented at
least until the time of the First Sacred War.92
A plot where the main character is played by an Argive hero, who is
triumphant over Thebes93 and then moves to Acarnania, fits with an environment in which Corinth, ruled by the Cypselids, does not hesitate to use
myths and characters from the Argive legacy by ideologically connecting to
the memory of Pheidon of Argos in an anti-Bacchiad perspective. In such
a climate, Delphi seems to embrace a position antithetical to both Thebes
and Sicyon which was then ruled by the tyrant Cleisthenes and was contending with Argos.94 One cannot exclude the Alcmeonis being a reaction to
the measures of Cleisthenes who banned the rhapsodic contests at Sicyon
because of the epic poems, mainly the Thebaid and the Epigonoi, where
the Argives and Argos were praised, and promoted instead the cult of the
Theban Melanippus in opposition to the cult of the Argive Adrastus.95
It is also possible that the Alcmeonis connected specific events to
Corinth. A Corinthian setting informs the Alcmeon in Corinth of Euripides
who, in accordance with the anti-Corinth attitude of Athens at his time,
must have borne in mind the Alcmeonis by reversing its basic perspective.96

excessive. For the chronology of the Cypselids, see Salmon (1984: 186 n. 1); de Fidio (1997: 119
n. 260); Antonelli (2000: 62 n. 10).
It is significant that Strabo 10.2.8 (see above, n. 87) informs about the canal through the spit
which joined Leucas to Acarnania. See Salmon (1984: 202, 210–11); Antonelli (2000: 95–9).
See Braccesi (1977: 91–108); Salmon (1984: 209–17); de Fidio (1997: 125–31); on Acarnania,
see Schoch (1997: 17–25).
For Huxley (1969: 51, 54), who is particularly concerned with the Acarnian prophetic tradition,
the Alcmeonis ‘may well have been composed by a mantis’; cf. Pavese (1972: 222, 225–6).
Salmon (1984: 186–7, 219–220, 227–8); Antonelli (1994); cf. Forrest (1956).
Paus. 9.9.4 also counts allies from Corinth in the expedition of the Epigonoi.
On such a political picture, see Braccesi (2001: 40–1, with bibliography), who traces back to it
the tradition about Diomedes as the initiator of the Pythian Games for Apollo (Paus. 2.32.2).
On the enmity between the Corinthian and the Sicyonian tyrants, see Nic. Dam. FgrHist 90 F
61.5; Salmon (1984: 227).
Herod. 5.67.1–5. Cingano (1985; 2004a: 75–6) has shown that the ῾Ομήρεια ἔπεα of the
Herodotean account must be identified with the Thebaid and the Epigonoi; cf. Huxley (1969:
48).
Eur. TrGF 73a–77. Cf. the plot in Ps.-Apollod. Bibl. 3.7.7. See Jouan (1990: 164–5); Olivieri
(2013); cf. Gantz (1993: 527). An interest in Athens for the figure of Alcmaon/Alcmeon during
the time of the Alcmeonids is conceivable: cf. Huxley (1969: 54 n. 1).
Alcmeonis
Ways were surely available to connect the plot and the characters to Corinth,
especially considering that the author of the Alcmeonis is clearly in the wake
of the Bacchiad poet Eumelus.97 The corpus of Eumelus is rich in eponyms,
structured (and innovative) genealogies and western backgrounds, among
which stand out those centred around Corcyra and its opposite mainland,
where the Achelous flows.98 Eumelus could also have mentioned Harmonia’s necklace, which became Eriphyle’s, but originally belonged to Europa
who gave it to Cadmus, Harmonia’s husband.99
It is noteworthy that the ‘chest of Cypselus’, offered at Olympia by
the house of Cypselus and described by Pausanias,100 was decorated with
scenes and hexameter inscriptions that are owed largely to the narratives
of Eumelus.101 It included also a few scenes from the Theban Cycle and we
can speculate that some of them echoed themes developed in the contemporary Alcmeonis. In this perspective, more than the duel between Eteocles
and Polynices,102 the scene with the departure of Amphiaraus appears to be
significant: Amphiaraus’ sons Alcmaon and Amphilochus, and his wife Eriphyle with the necklace, stand out; Amphiaraus leaves with one foot already
on the chariot and his sword drawn against Eriphyle, with an admonitory
expression as claiming vengeance.103 In the perspective of influence from
the Alcmeonis, it is meaningful that this scene is preceded by that of the
chariot race between Oenomaus and Pelops,104 and followed by that of the
funeral games of Pelias, in which Peleus also took part.105
Finally a probable link between the Alcmeonis and the epic poetry of Asius
of Samos, also fragmentary, deserves some attention. Just as the author

Cf. Pherec. FgrHist 3 F 89; Huxley (1969: 75); Debiasi (2013b: 529). A statuette has been
found in Corinth whose gesture corresponds to that of Eriphyle ‘holding up the ends of her
fingers along her neck through her tunic’ (Paus. 10.29.7): see Delcourt (1959: 40).
Paus. 5.17.5–19.10. For a chronology during Periander’s late reign, after the First Sacred War,
see Salmon (1984: 227–8).
Debiasi (2005).
Paus. 5.19.6. The subject occurs especially in the Oedipodea and the Thebaid.
Paus. 5.17.7–8. About this scene, common in the ancient iconography, see Krauskopf (1981b:
694–7); Gantz (1993: 507). The threatening gesture is lacking in Attic pottery and is to be
ascribed to the Corinthian archetype from which the scene on the chest of Cypselus derives:
Krauskopf (1980: 110–12). It is doubtful that the Thebaid described Amphiaraus
commanding Alcmaon, explicitly or implicitly, to avenge him: see Legras (1905: 65–8).
Paus. 5.17.7. The detail of Pelops’ winged horses occurs also in Pind. Ol. 1.87: see above, n. 76.
Paus. 5.17.9. For this episode in Eumelus, see Debiasi (2005: 51–5). According to Ps.-Apollod.
Bibl. 3.13.3 this occurred when Peleus arrived at Iolcus, where he was purified by Pelias’ son
Acastus (see above, n. 67; for the mythic chronology, see Gantz 1993: 193). Ps.-Apollodorus
continues by relating an episode involving Acastus, Peleus and Chiron. If we assume that
Chiron and Peleus were related in the Alcmeonis (see above, n. 69) then the prominence that,
also based on Eumelus’ poetry, the chest of Cypselus gave to the Centaur appears to be
meaningful (Paus. 5.19.9, on which see Debiasi 2005: 48).

of the Alcmeonis, Asius highlighted the eponym Phocus and mentioned his
sons Panopeus and Crisus, themselves eponyms of towns in Phocis (PEG
F 5 = D., W.); similarly he reported the offspring of Icarius, by calling
Penelope’s sister Meda (PEG F 10 = D., W.).106 Moreover, he mentioned
Icarius’ brother Tyndareus whose sons were of Pleuron’s stock on their
mother’s side, since Leda’s father Thestius was the son of Agenor, himself
the son of Pleuron (PEG F 6 = D., W.). This genealogy implies the context
of the expedition of Icarius and Tyndareus in Aetolia likely narrated in
the Alcmeonis; it also rejects Eumelus’ tendentious genealogy (Cor. PEG F
7 = F 8 D. = F 25 W.) in which Leda was a daughter of Thestius in name
only, but in fact of Glaucus. Further fragments of Asius highlight details
contradicting some mythological claims formulated by Eumelus,107 where
a pro-Sicyonian and anti-Argive and anti-Corinthian attitude, consistent
with the interests of the tyrant of Sicyon Cleisthenes, can be detected.108
Accordingly one may conjecture for Asius a reaction both to some earlier
narrations of Eumelus and to the contemporary ones of the Alcmeonis.109 In
this perspective the information that Asius also made Alcmena the daughter
of Amphiaraus and Eriphyle (PEG F 4 = D., W.) is compelling; nor does it
seem accidental that this is recorded by Pausanias in his description of the
scene on the chest of Cypselus with the departure of Amphiaraus.110

These two parallels are detected by Broadbent (1968: 302–3).
108 Huxley (1969: 89–98, esp. 95).
Cf. Asius PEG F 1, 9, 11 = D., W.
This perspective is more likely than the opposite, suggested by Broadbent (1968: 302): ‘the
author of the Alkmaionis may therefore have been a younger contemporary of Asios’. Asius
PEG F 5 (= D., W.) may imply the First Sacred War: cf. Forrest (1956: 43 n. 3); Huxley
(1969: 94).
Paus. 5.17.8. Alcmena, traditionally the daughter of Electryon and Lysidice (Hes. Cat. F
193.20 M.-W. = F 90.20 Hirsch.; Ps.-Hes. Scut. 3), in this way becomes Alcmaon’s sister, as
well as the daughter of the slayer of Melanippus, who was the hero praised by Cleisthenes. See
Huxley (1969: 93, 95); see above, n. 95.
