TheAlcmeonis (Ancient Greek:Ἀλκμεωνίς,Alkmeonis, orAncient Greek:Ἀλκμαιωνίς,Alkmaiōnis) is a lostearly Greek epic which is considered to have formed part of theTheban cycle. There are only seven references to theAlcmeonis in ancient literature, and all of them make it clear that the authorship of the epic was unknown. It told the story ofAlcmaeon's killing of his motherEriphyle for having arranged the death of his fatherAmphiaraus, whose murder was narrated in theThebaid. One of the surviving fragments is quoted byAthenaeus in theDeipnosophistae: he chose it because it describes a funeral banquet. The lines have very little in common with descriptions of feasts in theIliad andOdyssey.^[1]
