The ''Naupactia'' (Greek: , ''Naupaktia'') is a lost epic poem of ancient Greek literature. In antiquity the title was also written ''Naupaktika'' (Latin ''Naupactica''), and it is also in the present day sometimes referred to among scholars by the Latin phrase ''carmen Naupactium'' ("Naupactian poem"). Naupactus is a city in Greece on the Corinthian Gulf. The ''Naupactia'' was probably composed in the 6th or 5th century BCE. Its authorship is uncertain: most ancient writers simply refer to "the author of the ''Naupactia''". The 2nd-century CE travelogue writer Pausanias records that most people in his time considered that it was by an anonymous Milesian poet, but he himself judges that it was most likely by Carcinus of Naupactus; Pausanias' reasoning is open to doubt. It is not known how long the poem was. In current critical editions, only ten lines of the poem's text survive. Pausanias records that the poem was "written about women"; fewer than a dozen other fragmentary references give indications as to the content, but they tend to suggest that the content was largely genealogical. These two facts combined suggest similarities with the pseudo-Hesiodic poem the ''Catalogue of Women''. More than half of the surviving fragments are devoted to the heroic story of the Argonauts: it is likely that this occupied a large proportion of the poem, and probably influenced later poetic accounts of the story such as Pindar's fourth ''Pythian'' ode, and the best-known version, Apollonius' ''Argonautica''. == Editions == *No e-texts of the ''Naupaktia'' fragments are available. *Printed editions (Greek): * *A.
