Abstract

Stesichorus is one of the nine lyric poets of Ancient Greece whose work is less studied, probably due to the precariousness of his corpus, all fragmented. The aim of this article was to analyze fragment 113 (Davies & Finglass), of the poem titled Sack of Troy – going through a brief discussion on the poet and the poem –, to extract as much as possible from it taking its limitations into account.
