Arctinus of Miletus or Arctinus Milesius was a Cyclic poets Greek epic poet whose reputation is purely legendary, as none of his works survive. Traditionally dated between 775 BC and 741 BC, he was said to have been a pupil of Homer . Phaenias of Eresus placed him in the 7th century BC and claimed that he was defeated by Lesches Lesches of Pyrrha in competition. One of the cyclic poets , Arctinus composed the epics Aethiopis and Sack of Troy , which were contributions to the Epic Cycle Trojan War cycle , and possibly Naupactia . These poems are lost, but an idea of the first two can be obtained from the Chrestomathy ascribed probably wrongly to Proclus the Neoplatonism Neo Platonist of the 5th century AD. The Aethiopis , in five books, is so called from the Aethiopian Memnon , who became the ally of the Troy Trojans after the death of Hector . According to Proclus, the poem took up the narrative from the close of the Iliad The Amazon Penthesilea arrives to aid the Trojans in war. She is the daughter of Ares and a Thracian by birth. Achilles kills her while she is fighting at her best, and the Trojans bury her. Achilles kills Thersites , who railed at him and reproached him for loving Penthesileia. The Aethiopis concluded with the death and burial of Achilles and the dispute between Ajax the great Ajax and Odysseus for his arms. The Sack of Troy Iliou Persis told the stories of the Trojan Horse , Sinon , and Laoco n , the capture of the city, and the departure of the Greeks pursued by the anger of Athena at the rape of Cassandra by Ajax the Lesser . The Little Iliad , usually ascribed to Lesches , bridged the gap in the story line between Aethiopis and the Sack of Troy . Sources Eusebius , Chronicle Olympiad 1.2, 5.1.

As Dionysius of Halicarnassus Judicium de Thucydide , c. 23 distinctly states that the work current in his time under the name of Cadmus was a forgery, it is most probable that the two first are identical with the Phoenicia n Cadmus , who, as the reputed inventor of letters, was subsequently transformed into the Milesian and the author of an historical work. In this connection it should be observed that the old Milesian nobles traced their descent back to the Phoenician or one of his companions.

According to Photios I of Constantinople Photius cod. 69 he was the author of three important works A Compendium of Universal History in six books, from Belus, the reputed founder of the Assyria n empire, to Roman Emperor Anastasius I Anastasius I d. 518 .

A Biographical Dictionary of Learned Men , arranged according to classes poets, philosophers , the chief sources of which were the works of Aelius Dionysius and of Herennius Philo . Much of it has been incorporated in the Suda , as we learn from that book. It is disputed, however, whether the words in the Suda of which this book is an epitome mean that Suda s compiler himself epitomized the work of Hesychius, or whether they are part of the title of an already epitomized Hesychius used in the compilation of the Suda . The second view is more generally held. The epitome referred to, in which alphabetical order was substituted for arrangement in classes and some articles on Christian writers added as a concession to the times, is assigned from internal indications to the years 829 837.
