Nausithous' life also shows that the only correct way to avoid trouble with a Cylcopes is by leaving the immediate vicinity, a lesson Odysseus learns too late.
The passage then ends with the death of Nausithous and the passing of the kingship to Alcinous, although their exact genealogical relationship is not yet made clear.
Nausithous appears for the second time in Arete's genealogy (Od7.54-74), in which we learn his genealogy and the history of his extended family.

Maculinea nausithous and Maculinea teleius butterflies are dependent on two sequential sources of food, namely the host plant Sanguisorba officinalis and for each butterfly species a different, specific, Myrmica host ant.
Maculinea nausithous females appeared to aggregate and oviposit in places where nests of their host ant, Myrmica rubra are present.
Maculinea nausithous is dependent on the road verges in the surrounding of the nature reserve as habitats for subpopulations of a network.

They both descend originally from Neptune, who was father to Nausithous by Periboea, a woman of great beauty.
Periboea was the youngest daughter of Eurymedon, who at one time reigned over the giants, but he ruined his ill-fated people and lost his own life to boot.
Nausithous had two sons Rhexenor and Alcinous; Apollo killed the first of them while he was still a bridegroom and without male issue; but he left a daughter Arete, whom Alcinous married, and honours as no other woman is honoured of all those that keep house along with their husbands.

First Nausithous was son of Poseidon, the Earth-shaker, and of Periboea, the comeliest of women, youngest daughter of great-hearted Eurymedon, who once was king among the haughty Giants.
Howbeit, he destroyed his infatuate people, and was himself destroyed; but Poseidon lay with Periboea and begat a son, proud Nausithous, who sometime was prince among the Phaeacians; and Nausithous begat Rhexenor and Alcinous.

In The Netherlands, Maculinea nausithous and M. teleius disappeared in the 1970s.
nausithous, being the more mobile species, colonized habitat patches with the specific host ant at higher distances.
At the small spatial scale the females of both species were able to select habitat patches with host plants and host ants to deposit their eggs, rather then losing many offspring by random oviposition.

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.
Nausithous 1 himself was son of Poseidon and Periboea 1, the youngest among the daughters of Eurymedon 2, who is said to have once been king of the GIANTS, and the one responsible of bringing destruction on his people and on himself.
King Nausithous 1 had two sons, Rhexenor 2 and Alcinous.

She was the youngest daughter of magnificent Eurymedon, anciently king of the too-proud giants, whom he served to destroy in their impiety; yet with their destruction was himself destroyed.

Therefore it was to his house that the goddess, grey-eyed Athene, descended to plan the reception of great-hearted Odysseus: and of his house she chose to enter the precious room where slept Nausicaa, daughter of royal Alcinous, a girl beautiful as an immortal in nature and form.

The proportion of variable allozyme loci, average heterozygosity and genetic differentiation among populations was higher in M. nausithous than in sympatrically living M. teleius populations.
We hypothesise that the differences in heterozygosity are mainly due to the known higher efficiency of typical host ant nests in rearing M. nausithous pupae compared to M. teleius pupae.
This implies a larger probability of larval survival in M. nausithous, which buffers populations against environmental and demographic stochasticity.
