In the CxraLocun Or Sites it is paired with the
“sacred Rcusrsapes” under the leadership of Meas
son of Previous, and is desribed as being across
from Buss (It, 2.625-626); Srnavo (82.2, 102.10,
and 19) considers it of the Fchinades. For the
Obyssry poet, i is ruled by Akastos (14.336), and
supplies fifty-two of Pastor's Surtons (16.247).
‘The portrait of the island in the Odyssey is hard
to reconcile with the Bchinades. Ovrsseus
describes Doulichion as one of three islands "very
dose 10 one another” which gied Irnaca

Stubbings (1962b, 403}, in the Odyssey Doulichion
provides almost twice as many suitors for Penelope
as Same and is described as polupures“rich in corn”
and poiteis “rich in grass” (16.396), suggesting a
