Abstract

This essay is meant to remove Alcaeus fr. 140 Voigt from the scrutiny of archaeological philologists and archaeologists to literary criticism, although I am concerned with the archaeological record. Its purpose is to show both its structure (as this can be reconstructed in want of the first two lines) and the description of the arms stored in the storehouse of Odysseus’ Palace on Ithaca in Od. 21 and 22.
