Dec 11, 2021 · This paper explores some aspects of Stesichorus’ performance of poetry involving the myth of Helen. 1 I begin by addressing briefly the debate conducted in the last four decades concerning the probable manner and contexts of performance of Stesichorus’ poems, a problem related to that of their size, and then I concentrate in particular on the poem known already in the fourth century BC, and thereafter throughout antiquity, as the Παλινωιδία, ‘ Palinode ’.

The poems here represent some of Stesichorus’s most famous work. From the Geryoneis (Γηρυονηΐς), we have fragments S7 and S15 (column ii), describing the mythical characters Eurytion and Geryon. Geryon—the titular character of Stesichorus’s narrative poem—is a monster who owns a herd of red cattle, and Eurytion is his herdsman.
Stesichorus is also interested in several other, extra-Cyclic myths, including Heracles and the Argonautic legend, which are very much present in his poetry. On Stesichorus’ panhellenic poetic agenda, i.e. his attempt to generate a narrative corpus that at least touches on all the major cycles of Greece, see Carey (2015). Arrighetti (1996: 29).
