The following questions have still been discussed; (1). Was the main source of the Certamen Alcidamas' Museion? (2). In this case, did Alcidamas invent the story of the contest of Homer and Hesiod? This article attempts to reexamine these questions to make the relation between the story of the contest and Alcidamas clearer. I. The main point of discussion about question (1) is whether the following facts coincide one another; 1. The Museion is mentioned in Cert. 240 as the source of a story about the fate of Hesiod's murderers. 2. The couplet which occurs in Cert. 78-9 was attributed by Stob. 4. 52. 22 to the Museion. 3. Michigan papyrus 2754 gave the end of a story closely resembling the end of Certamen, followed by the subscription] δαμαντο&b.sigmav; περι Ομηρου. As the result of examining the above point at issue, by using the structural analysis of the narrative in the Certamen, it is concluded that the series of the stories such as the contest-death of Hesiod-death of Homer were derived from the Museion. II. Next comes question (2). Indeed, we are left with no evidence for a contest between Homer and Hesiod before Alcidamas. But, the writer of the article believes that there are a number of reasons for thinking the contest story older than Alcidamas. One of them is Plutarch's passage of the contest story (Moralia, 153 ff.), where the order of events is different from that of Certamen. Some scholars take the view that Plutarch's version was derived from the Museion. However, from closer examination of that passage, this view does not seem to have any adequate foundation. Then, according to M. L. West, Alcidamas invented the judgement of Panedes who awards the victory to Hesiod. But, this attractive opinion is also not so well-founded. The writer in the second part of the article tries both to clarify the meaning of the construction of the contest story, and to show 1). that the Plutarch's passage reflects the original version, 2). that perhaps Alcidamas reversed the order of this original version, 3). that the origin of the contest was much older than Alcidamas.
