STASINUS

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 799 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STASINUS , of Cyprus, according to some ancient authorities the author of the Cypria (in 11 books), one of the poems belonging to the epic cycle. Others ascribed it to Hegesias (or Hegesinus) of Salamis or even to
Homer
  himself, who was said to have written it on the occasion of his daughter's
marriage
  to Stasinus. The Cypria, presupposing an acquaintance with the events of the Homeric poem, .confined itself to what preceded, and thus formed a kind of introduction to the Iliad. It contained an account of the judgment of Paris, the rape of Helen, the abandonment of Philoctetes on the
island
  of Lemnos, the landing of the Achaeans on the
coast
  of
Asia
 , and the first engagement before Troy. It is probable that the
list
  of the Trojans and their allies (Iliad, ii. 816876), which formed an appendix to the catalogue of the Greek ships, is abridged from that in the Cypria, which was known to contain a
list
  of the Trojan allies.
Proclus
 , in his Chrestomathia, gave an outline of the poem (preserved in Photius, cod. 239).
See F. G. Welcker, Der epische Cyclus (1862) ; D. B. Monro, Appendix to his edition of Odyssey, xiii.-xxiv. (19o1); T. W. Allen, " The Epic Cycle," in Classical Quarterly (Jan. 1908, sqq.) ; and
