Phocais

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The Phocais was an ancient Greek epic widely attibuted to Homer. In the Life of Homer, a biography of Homer falsely attributed to Herodotus, it was said to have been written while Homer lived at Phocaea with a man named Thestorides; however, whether Thestorides actually existed and where he lived is highly suspect. Like all Homeric work, its true author is unknown; today only a single fragment (three to four sentences of text) claiming its existence survives.
