		Thus she hath, and hath ever had, all worship heartily from her dear children and from her lord Alcinous and from all the folk, who look on her as on a goddess, and greet her with reverend speech, when she goes about the town.
		‘Alcinous, this truly is not the more seemly way, nor is it fitting that the stranger should sit upon the ground in the ashes by the hearth, while these men refrain them, waiting thy word.
		Now when the mighty king Alcinous heard this saying, he took Odysseus, the wise and crafty, by the hand, and raised him from the hearth, and set him on a shining chair, whence he bade his son give place, valiant Laodamas, who sat next him and was his dearest.

		In Book 4 of Apollonius' Argonautica, Alcinous, the king of the Phaeacians, acts as a mediator between the Argonauts and the Colchian army, which was sent by Aeetes to recover his daughter Medea (4.993-1009).
		Alcinous rules that Medea may remain with Jason as a result of their marriage (4.1098-1108, 1170-1205).
		Alcinous thus resolves the conflict between the two groups and prevents bloodshed in his country.

		Alcinous first reveals his sensitivity to his guest's emotions when he stops the song of Demodocus without directly questioning Odysseus about the reasons for his weeping (Od 8.536-543).
		Alcinous has proved to be a sensitive, caring and generous host, as his actions and speeches make clear.
		Alcinous, although himself hospitable, recognizes that others are savage and violent, and without justice.

		It has also been told that when Heracles 1 arrived to the island in order to cleanse himself for the murder of his children by Megara, he there made love to the naiad Melite 2, daughter of the river god Aegaeus, and that their child Hyllus 1 was born in the isle of the Phaeacians.
		That could be so, but others assert that King Alcinous was the son of Nausithous 1, who once ruled the Phaeacians and was the man who settled them in the island of Scheria, after having fled from the CYCLOPES (or from those Cyclopes who resemble them), because they plundered them.
		While Alcinous was king of the Phaeacians, he received the ARGONAUTS, who had stolen from Colchis the Golden Fleece, and he also protected the Colchian princess Medea, who being in love with Jason, captain of the ARGONAUTS, accompanied them.

		The fifty-two picked oarsmen went to the sea shore as they had been told, and when they got there they drew the ship into the water, got her mast and sails inside her, bound the oars to the thole-pins with twisted thongs of leather, all in due course, and spread the white sails aloft.

		Now none of all the company marked him weeping, but Alcinous alone noted it and was ware thereof as he sat by him and heard him groaning heavily.
		So when they had taken in their hands the goodly ball of purple hue, that cunning Polybus had wrought for them, the one would bend backwards, and throw it towards the shadowy clouds; and the other would leap upward from the earth, and catch it lightly in his turn, before his feet touched the ground.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.10.14
		One of the relatively few documents to have survived intact from this period is a handbook or summary of Platonism by a philosopher whose name, judging solely from the manuscripts, was Alcinous.
		Unfortunately, not a great deal turns upon the attribution of the work to Alcinous or to Albinus since we know virtually nothing about the first and little more than nothing about the second, assuming now that all we possess by him is the Eisagoge, a four and one-half page epitome of Platonism.
		The two most influential chapters of the work are 9 and 10 where Alcinous expounds the doctrine of Platonic Forms as ideas in the mind of God and where he discusses the Middle Platonic theology that ultimately served to establish Platonism as a legitimate source for early Christian philosophical thinking.

		One result of this loosening of the chronological range for Alcinous is to make possible a more realistic assessment of the relationship between Arius Didymus fragment 1 (preserved first by Eusebius) and chapter 12 of the Didaskalikos.
		But as G. shows in a careful comparison of the two texts, it is not very convincing that the influence ran in that direction; the main reason for accepting that view was a set of prior beliefs about their relative chronology.
		But if Alcinous could in principle be earlier than has been thought, and if Arius Didymus is not necessarily to be identified with the Augustan philosopher (as G. goes on to argue -- see below), then it becomes possible to accept that Alcinous or his source for ch.

		and to the spacious streets of Athens, where she entered the abode of Erechtheus; but Ulysses went on to the house of Alcinous, and he pondered much as he paused a while before reaching the threshold of bronze, for the splendour of the palace was like that of the sun or moon.
		When Alcinous heard this he took Ulysses by the hand, raised him from the hearth, and bade him take the seat of Laodamas, who had been sitting beside him, and was his favourite son.
		The fact of Alcinous knowing anything about the Cyclopes suggests that in the writer's mind Scheria and the country of the Cyclopes were not very far from one another.
