 The Baldwin Project: A Story of the Golden Age of Greek Heroes by James Baldwin
As Phemius ended his story, Odysseus, who had been too intent upon listening to look around him, raised his eyes and uttered a cry of joy; for he saw that they had left the open sea behind them, and were entering the long and narrow gulf between Achaia and the Ætolian land.
Then Phemius smote the chords of his harp, and played a melody so weird and wild that Odysseus sprang to his feet, and glanced quickly around him, as if he thought to see some grim and horrid shape threatening him from among the gathering shadows.
And Phemius sang of the Hesperides, or the maidens of the West, who also, men say, are the daughters of Phorcys the ancient.

 Dreams Machine > The Immaterial World - Music Sound
Phemius pleases the suitors by singing of the calamitous return of the Greeks; Demodocus sings of a quarrel between Ulysses and Achilles, and afterwards of the wooden horse and the capture of Troy.
The songs of Phemius and Demodocus are too short, and have too much the character of improvisations.
Nor is it necessary to suppose that epic poetry, at the time to which the picture in the Odyssey belongs, was confined to the one type represented.

He felt the change, wondered at it, and knew that the stranger had been a god, so he went straight to where the suitors were sitting.
Phemius was still singing, and his hearers sat rapt in silence as he told the sad tale of the return from Troy, and the ills Minerva had laid upon the Achaeans.
"Phemius," she cried, "you know many another feat of gods and heroes, such as poets love to celebrate.

 The Odyssey eBook
It is to the indiscretion of this maiden that we “are indebted for so much happiness.” Homer was the first fruit of her juvenile frailty, and received the name of Melesigenes from having been born near the river Meles in Boeotia, whither Critheis had been transported in order to save her reputation.
Phemius died, leaving him sole heir to his property, and his mother soon followed.
Melesigenes carried on his adopted father’s school with great success, exciting the admiration not only of the inhabitants of Smyrna, but also of the strangers whom the trade carried on there, especially in the exportation of corn, attracted to that city.

 RTÉ.ie Entertainment: The War at Troy by Lindsay Clarke
Phemius traces the story from its roots in a conflict among the gods of Olympus to the brutal and bloody ten-year war, and finally to its sad and bitter ending.
Phemius, and Clarke, resist the temptation to end their tale happily.
Paris and Helen eventually fall out of love, the deaths are violent and brutal and the victory at the end means little in the face of such destruction.

 Odyssey Convocation
While he is still a youth, his mother, who is poor and somewhat in disgrace, agrees to marry a schoolteacher, who, rather surprisingly, has the same name as Odysseus’; minstrel, Phemius.
Indeed, he proves to be such a fine student that, when Phemius dies, he passes the school on to Homer, and Homer becomes a schoolteacher.
It is only after teaching for a while that Homer, with thoughts of composing major national epics, disbands his school and accepts an offer to travel the world with a merchant, as a sort of personal assistant.

 St George's News, June 2001 Edition
This poor girl became pregnant out of wedlock, and left Asia Minor and settled at a place near the River Meles, in Greece, where she gave birth to a son who she named Melesigenes because, as she said, 'he was born near the River Meles'.
Critheis later returned to Smyrna where she became housekeeper to a man named Phemius, a literature and music teacher, whom she later married.
Phemius took to his stepson as if he was his own, and every day gave him lessons in music and the written word.

 TermPapers-TermPapers.com - The Disagreement Between Telemachus And Penelope
Phemius is singing the tale of the Greek warriors of Troy and their homecomings when Penelope descends from her chambers to protest this choice of music.
However, his quest for his legacy was not the only reason he had for defending Phemius.
This disagreement over Phemius was a window to the anger that Telemachus had towards his mother for not familiarizing him with the legacy of his father.

 Homer Introduction to Homer The Odyssey Books 1
Homer is quick to defend his fellow minstrel by pointing out that Phemius is forced to play for the suitors.
The second person spared is Phemius, a minstrel, and so a man in the same profession as Homer.
He suggests that they all put on new clothes and orders Phemius to play his lyre, so that, if anyone passes by outside, there will be no indication that anything is amiss.
