Abstract

This interdisciplinary study explores the connection between the Ptolemaic monarchy and the Phaeacian episodes in Homer's Odyssey and the Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius. In particular, I am interested in what the epic representation of the Phaeacian queen Arete can tell us about the political influence of Arsinoe II Philadelphus, ruler of Egypt with Ptolemy II in the third century B.C.E.
