A few other references also give indications of the poem's storyline. The poem opens as the Greeks are getting ready to set sail back to Greece. The goddess Athena is wrathful because of the Greeks' impious behaviour in the sack of Troy (see ""Iliou persis"").

He was either a mortal prince, the eldest son of King Celeus of Eleusis, or, according to Pseudo-Apollodorus' ""Bibliotheca"" (I.V.2), the son of Gaia and Oceanus. While Demeter (in the guise of an old woman named Doso) was searching for her daughter Persephone, who had been abducted by Hades, she received a hospitable welcome from Celeus. He asked her to nurse Demophon—""killer of men"", a counterpart to Triptolemus— and Triptolemus, his sons by Metanira."

Thus, in the Argive account Chrysanthis substitutes for Hecate of the Homeric hymn to Demeter. A relief uncovered near Lerna portrays an altar, to the left of which stands Demeter, to the right stand Chrysanthis, her husband Mysius, and two maidens presumed to be their daughters. Mysius is otherwise known as a native of Argos who offered hospitality"

After Paris took Helen to Troy, Agamemnon sent Palamedes to Ithaca to retrieve Odysseus, who had promised to defend the marriage of Helen and Menelaus. Odysseus did not want to honor his oath, so he pretended to be insane and plowed his fields with salt. Palamedes guessed what was happening and"
