Abstract
Stesichorus' Geryoneis helps make sense out of the violent, disorienting act of col onization and establishes a collective cultural memory that is both distinct from and loyal to Greek convention. The poet creates a civic literature and identity for Himera in song, while using references to Greek literary convention, namely, the Iliad, erotic motifs and violent marriage imagery. 1 Carson, op. cit. 65.
