This paper provides a close and unprecedented scrutiny of the catalogue of Helen’s suitors through a detailed examination of some fragments and the peculiarities related to formulaic language, style, meaning, and innovations regarding the tradition of the Greek heroes at Troy. It also offers a broader view of some significant aspects of the epic world, such as the wedding contest and the procedure of courting in archaic Greece, the function of catalogic poetry, and the relation between this catalogue and the Homeric Catalogue of ships.
