Telegony
The ''Telegony'' (Greek: , ''Tēlegoneia''; (ラテン語:Telegonia)) is a lost ancient Greek epic poem about Telegonus, son of Odysseus by Circe. His name ("born far away") is indicative of his birth on Aeaea, far from Odysseus' home of Ithaca. It was part of the Epic Cycle of poems that recounted the myths not only of the Trojan War but also of the events that led up to and followed the war. The story of the ''Telegony'' comes chronologically after that of the ''Odyssey'', and is the final episode in the Epic Cycle. The poem was sometimes attributed in Antiquity to Cinaethon of Sparta, but in one source it is said to have been stolen from Musaeus by Eugamon or Eugammon of Cyrene〔"Some have seen in the 'burst of happy marriages' in which the ''Telegoneia'' ends an explanation for its being ascribed to Eugammon, a name which apparently means 'Happy-Marrier'", Edmund D. Cressman remarks (Cressman, "Beyond the Sunset" ''The Classical Journal'' 27.9 (June 1932:669-674], p. 671).〕 (see Cyclic poets). The poem comprised two books of verse in dactylic hexameter.

In Antiquity the ''Telegony'' may have also been known as the ''Thesprotis'' (Greek: Θεσπρωτίς), which is referred to once by Pausanias in the 2nd century CE;〔Pausanias 8.12.5.〕 alternatively, the ''Thesprotis'' may have been a name for the first book of the ''Telegony'', which is set in Thesprotia. Such naming of isolated episodes within a larger epic was common practice for the ancient readers of the Homeric epics.〔For example, Book 10 of the ''Iliad'' is called the ''Doloneia'', and book 5 and part of book 6 were known as "the Aristeia of Diomedes". The first four books of the ''Odyssey'' are called the ''Telemachy'', as those books describe the journey of Odysseus' son Telemachus as he looks for news about his missing father; Odysseus' descent to the Underworld (''Odyssey'' 11) is known as the ''Nekyia''.〕
A third possibility is that there was a wholly separate epic called the ''Thesprotis''; and yet a fourth possibility is that the ''Telegony'' and ''Thesprotis'' were two separate poems that were at some stage compiled into a single ''Telegony''. Most scholars at present tend to regard the third and fourth possibilities as unlikely, or at least worthless hypotheses, since neither possibility is demonstrable or falsifiable.
