Drinking bowl with scenes from the Aethiopis epic, Attic, c. 540 BC
The Aethiopis/iːˈθaɪəpɪs/, also spelled Aithiopis (Greek: Αἰθιοπίς, Aíthiopís; Latin: Aethiopis), is a lost epic of ancient Greek literature. It was one of the Epic Cycle, that is, the Trojan cycle, which told the entire history of the Trojan War in epic verse. The story of the Aethiopis comes chronologically immediately after that of the Homeric Iliad, and is followed by that of the Little Iliad. The Aethiopis was sometimes attributed by ancient writers to Arctinus of Miletus (8th century BC) (see Cyclic poets). The poem comprised five books of verse in dactylic hexameter.
