The Phokais; one of the fragmentary remains of the Homerica.
The fragments of the Phokais can be presented in three or four sentences and are thus not too informative but they are important because of their antiquity; they simply say that Homer composed the Little Iliad and the Phokais while he was living with Thestorides but the Phokians (Phocians) insist that the Phokais was composed in Phokis (Phocis).
For the complete translations of the Homerica I recommend the Loeb Classical Library volume 57, ISBN 0674990633; you can sometimes find this book at the library or you can order it from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
