" Sinon (short form for Sinopos, Maass, Hermes xxiii. 

 (1888)) son of Aesiinus, who, as son of Autolycus and 

 Amphithea, is brother of Anticleia, mother of Odysseus, 

 was left behind when the Greeks sailed to Tenedos, in 

 order that he might light a beacon as a signal for them to 

 return, and that he might induce the Trojans to drag the 

 wooden horse within the walls. There is some variation in 

 the accounts of Sinon's performance, cf. Apollodor. Epitom. 

 V. 14 ff. ; Verg.^. ii. 57 ff. ; Qu. Smyrn. xii. 243 ff. ; Lycophr. 

 340 if. who connects the business with the treason of 

 Antenor.
