	Aithiopis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aithiopis (Greek: Αἰθιοπίς; Latin: Aethiopis) is a lost epic of ancient Greek literature.
		The story of the Aithiopis comes chronologically immediately after that of the Homeric Iliad, and is followed by that of the Little Iliad.
		There the Aithiopis ends; it is uncertain whether the judgment of Achilles' arms, and subsequent suicide of Ajax, were told in the Aithiopis, in the next epic in the Cycle, the Little Iliad, or in both.

	Trojan War cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Trojan War cycle, also widely known as the Epic Cycle or Cyclic Epics, was a collection of Ancient Greek epic poems that related the story of the Trojan War, which includes the Kypria, the Aithiopis, the Little Iliad, the Iliou persis ("The Sack of Troy"), the Nostoi ("Returns"), and the Telegony.
		It ends with the death of Hector, who is killed by Achilles in revenge for the death of his dear friend Patroclus.
		The five books of the Aithiopis are said to have been written by Arctinus of Miletus.

	Chapter 16
		From the epic tradition of the Aithiopis, we learn that Thersites was killed by Achilles himself; the reason given for the killing is that the hero had been "reproached and blamed" by Thersites (loidorêtheis...
		[6] Returning to the story from the Aithiopis (in the abbreviated form that survives in the Proclus summary), we may speculate as to whether Thersites too had been stoned to death by Achilles and his men, as was Pharmakos.
		In this case, however, the medium of epic collapses the distinction between the perspectives of myth and ritual: the same figure who caused the impurity--Achilles himself--is also given the chance to be purified for his action.

	week 3, Nagy's notes
		Generically, Achilles would be a therapôn of Ares; specifically, however, we can say that he is a therapôn of Apollo, because it is Apollo who will directly kill him (see Sourcebook I p.
		375 for the plot summary of the Aithiopis epic).
		While the therapôn of Apollo must be Achilles, the therapôn of Achilles, to repeat, is Patroklos.

	Chapter 10
		Even in the Aithiopis, the immortality reached by Achilles is not an immediate but a remote state: after death, the hero is permanently removed from the here-and-now of the Achaeans who mourn him.
		I conclude, then, that even in the Aithiopis the immortality of Achilles is predicated on his death, which is the occasion for the thrênoisung by the Muses as a consolation for his death.
		In the Iliad, the theme of immortality is similarly predicated on the death of Achilles, but here the focus of consolation is not on the hero's afterlife, but rather, on the eternal survival of the epic that glorifies him.

	[2001: July] Achiles' heel (was: Achilles and Demophoon)
		Alas, the publication of this is in a rather out-of-the-way journal: "The Diachronic Study of Myth and Achilles' Heel," Journal of the California Classical Association, Northern Section 4 (1979): 3-34.
		It seems possible, though by no means certain, that the story that Achilles was fatally wounded by an arrow in his lower extremity goes back to Arktinos "Aithiopis" (it is suggested also by some vase paintings), but this needn't imply the story that Thetis failed to douse the fatal part.
		I suppose there's no reason that this couldn't have been mentioned in the "Aithiopis." The foot-region would be a natural place to aim a poisoned arrow, given Achilles' famous armor.)

		In the Iliad, for example, many aspects of Achilleus’ withdrawal from the fighting and subsequent return seem to mirror other events in the mythic tradition: his quarrel with Agamemnon has counterparts in other quarrels between Agamemnon and Menelaos and between Achilleus and Odysseus, both of which are alluded to in the Odyssey.
		Achilleus’ return to the fighting to avenge the death of Patroklos seems to have been mirrored in another early epic poem, the Aithiopis, in which (according to a summary by a later writer) Achilleus avenged the death of another friend, Nestor’s son Antilochos (who in fact is seen mourning Patroklos with Achilleus at Iliad 18.32).
		These few examples – and there are many more – give some idea of how the poet of the Iliad re-shapes traditional material and applies it to his own story.
