		The Meleager story recounted by Phoenix in Iliad 9.529-99 is one of the most discussed passages in the poem.
		Scholars have for example noticed how Phoenix's autobiography resonates with the Meleager story (sketched in Heubeck 1943), but not how it may be related to the Marpessa digression.
		Within a story with no direct discourse, this ambiguously directed catalogue can be performed as a uniquely unintroduced direct speech– the horrors of the sack of a city emerge from Kleopatra's, Phoenix's, and the performer's mouth at once, emerging to confirm the contradictory quality of his ostensibly hortatory tale.
