	Theoclymenus - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In Greek mythology, Theoclymenus, son of Polypheides, was a prophet from Argos, who in the Odyssey had been exiled from that city after killing one of his relatives.

		Theoclymenus is also the name of the king of Egypt in Euripides' play Helen.

		"Theoclymenus and the Poetics of Disbelief: Prophecy and its Audience in the Odyssey." In A Californian Hymn to Homer, to be published by Rowan, Littlefield, and Co in the Spring of 2006 (currently under review).
		The second prophecy, to Penelope, is shown (with reference to Odysseus' and Penelope's interview in Book 19) to be a similar attempt on the part of Theoclymenus, but one which fails on account of his second audience's greater familiarity with the arts of rhetoric and/or poetry.
		In responding positively to Theoclymenus, Telemachus demonstrates his weakminded good qualities; in responding noncommitally to Theoclymenus, Penelope shows off her strongminded rhetorical skill; in rejecting Theoclymenus, the Suitors confirm their atasthalia once and for all, whereupon vengeance swiftly follows.

		Theonoe and Theoclymenus, in contrast to the Greek characters, wore bright oriental tunic-length brocade silk tunics and jackets in fuchsia and gold.
		To translate Helen's line hednosomai te thugater', hen oudeis gamei (933)as 'to arrange a marriage for my daughter, whom at the moment no one will touch with a barge pole' is stretching a bit, but is acceptably within the implications of the Greek.
		However, when Menelaus asks who will convey the false news of Menelaus' death to Theoclymenus, to have Helen answer 'You, you dimwit', where the Greek has only sou (1077), is to import to the text something it did not remotely imply.
