Tenedos and Tennes in the Cypria

Abstract:
This chapter argues that Achilles’s conflict with Tennes, the eponymous ruler of Tenedos, featured in the Cypria. The stop-off at Tenedos formed part of an “increasing triplet,” marking Achilles’s growing strength, maturity, and success as he drew closer to Troy. It also framed the Greeks’ subsequent arrival at Troy as a new start and resonated with the island’s broader presence in the Trojan war tradition.
