 Yet Arctinus of Miletus was said to have been a disciple of Homer, and was certainly one of the earliest and most considerable of the Cyclic poets.His "Aethiopis" was composed as a sequel to the "Iliad"; and the structure and general character of his poems show that he took the "Iliad" as his model.Yet in his case we find no trace of the disputed authorship which is so common with other Cyclic poems.
