	miletus
		In Greek mythology, Miletus was the founder of the city described below.
		Miletus is a city in the Anatolia province of Turkey, near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and at the mouth of the Meander river.
		In ancient Greece, Miletus became famous for its science and philosophers, with Thales being the most important one.

	Achilles
		Patroclus fell, and the news of his death roused Achilles, who, now equipped with new armour fashioned by Hephaestus, drove back the Trojans, slew Hector, and after dragging his body thrice round the Trojan walls, restored it to Priam.
		With the funeral rites of Patroclus the Iliad concludes, and the story is taken up by the Aethiopis, a poem by Arctinus of Miletus, in which is described the combat of Achilles first with the Amazon Penthesilae, and next with Memnon.
		When the latter fell, Achilles drove back the Trojans, and, impelled by fate, himself advanced to the Scaean gate, where an arrow from the bow of Paris struck his vulnerable heel, and he fell, bewailed through the whole camp.

	Chapter 2
		Thus Hecataeus of Miletus, at the beginning of his discourse, dismisses the local tales of the Greeks as polloi te kai geloioi 'many and laughable [geloioi]', as distinct from the things that he has to say, which are alêthea 'true [alêthea]' (FGH 1 F 1).
		Such is the case in the myth that tells of the contest between Arctinus of Miletus and Lesches of Mytilene, which is won by Lesches (Phaenias F 33 Wehrli, in Clement Stromateis 1.131.6).
		This interpretation assumes that the story of a contest between Lesches and Arctinus is a historical fact, whereas I argue that it is a myth reflecting the historical relationship between the poetry attributed to these two figures.

	Aloni review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Homeric Hymns, which are prooemia contextualizing performances of epic song, show that such events could be organized as competitions.
		The legendary competitions of Homer and Hesiod and of Lesches of Mytilene and Arctinus of Miletus are a reflection of such events, and Herodotus refers to early rhapsodic contests at Sicyon (5.67).
		In his discussion of "rhapsode," Aloni makes the observation that the senses of the word that are incompatible sychronically are compatible diachronically: an earlier stichic (thus "stitched") hexameter is later performed in a competition in which one rhapsode has to "stitch" his song to the preceding.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's up with the Amazons?
		The ancient Greeks weren't consistent about whom the Amazons mated with, where they lived, or even the one thing most people think they know about them: that they cut off their breasts.
		The first written mentions of the Amazons come from two epics about the Trojan War, the famous Iliad of Homer and a lesser known poem called the Aethiopis attributed to Arctinus of Miletus.
		No one is really sure which came first or when either was composed, but the best guess is that both were written in the 8th or 7th century B.C. Amazons are first depicted in art in the 8th century, perhaps a little earlier than in writing.

		In accommodating a version that pictures Helen on the sacred Island of Leuke as consort of Achilles (Pausanias 3.19.11), the tradition of Stesichorus is parallel to the less Panhellenic traditions of the Cycle: in the Aithiopis, the abode of Achilles after immortalization is this same sacred place, Leuke (Proclus, p.
		Besides this specific kind of thematic parallelism between Stesichorus and the Cycle, we may note that even the general organizing subjects of Stesichorean poetry coincide with those of the Cycle: for example, Stesichorus is credited with a composition called the Destruction of Ilion (PMG 196-205),
		and another called the Nostoi (PMG 208-209), corresponding respectively to the Cyclic Destruction of Ilion, attributed to Arctinus of Miletus, and the Nostoi, attributed to Agias of Trozen.
