Demodokos sings stories about Troy in front of Alcinous, right side Odysseus, John Flaxman
In Greek mythology, Alcinous (sometimes with the diacritical mark Alcinoüs; also transliterated as Alkínoös, Αλκίνοος / Ἀλκίνοος)) was a son of Nausithous and father of Nausicaa and Laodamas with Arete.
He was King of the Phaeacians on Scheria and welcomed both Odysseus who had been shipwrecked on his shore and the Argonauts.
