Quintus Smyrnaeus was a Greek epic poet, who wrote in the 4th
century. It is possible that Quintus used the works of the cyclic
poets in writing this manuscript or perhaps he was familiar with
Homer. In either case there are discrepancies with either
conjecture. The Table of Contents reads as follows. How died for
Troy the Queen of the Amazons, Penthesileia, How Memnon, Son of the
Dawn, for Troy's sake fell in the Battle, How by the shaft of a God
laid low was Hero Achilles, How in the Funeral Games of Achilles
heroes contended, How the Arms of Achilles were cause of madness
and death unto Aias, How came for the helping of Troy Eurypylus,
Hercules' grandson, How the Son of Achilles was brought to the War
from the Isle of Scyros, How Hercules' Grandson perished in fight
with the Son of Achilles, How from his long lone exile returned to
the war Philoctetes, How Paris was stricken to death, and in vain
sought help of Oenone, How the sons of Troy for the last time
fought from her walls and her towers, How the Wooden Horse was
fashioned, and brought into Troy by her people, XIII How Troy in
the night was taken and sacked with fire and slaughter, and How the
conquerors sailed from Troy unto judgment of tempest and shipwreck.
