This complex play raises a theological problem about the relationship of the “older” and the “younger” gods. At the very beginning of the play, the Pythia explains that the Oracle at Delphi originally belonged to Gaia, a goddess of the very earliest generation; then it belonged to Themis, then to Phoebe, and finally to Phoebus Apollo, an Olympian. Thus we see a transfer of ownership from the oldest generation of gods to the youngest. In some other versions of this story of the successive ownership of the Oracle, the transfer occurs violently (as the succession of generations in Hesiod’s Theogony is also violent), but here each stage of the process seems to have occurred quite peacefully (Sourvinou-Inwood 1988: 215–41).
Among the works attributed to Hesiod was an epic poem about Melampous called the Melampodia; only a few fragments of this poem survive, but it is mentioned by the rhetorician Athenaeus in his Scholars at Dinner (Deipnosophistae) in the second century CE, by the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria in the late second or early third century CE, and by the Byzantine scholar Tzetzes in the twelfth century CE. An Athenian poet of the fifth century BCE named Pherekydes wrote about Melampous, but his version of the story survives only in a summary.
The Odyssey was a Panhellenic epic, and the women in the catalogue became Panhellenic when Odysseus talked about them, unless they were already Panhellenic before the Odyssey. Perhaps they lend their own Panhellenic status to this upstart epic hero. Some of these women of myth remain famous today. Readers may know something about Alkmene, who was Herakles’ mother; or Megara, Herakles’ wife, the mother of the children he killed when he went mad; or Leda, the mother of Kastor, Polydeukes, Klytemnestra, and Helen of Troy; or Phaedra, who fell in love with her stepson Hippolytos; or Ariadne, who helped Theseus escape from the Labyrinth.
