Answer: Alcinous is halting the song because Odysseus is crying—again.

This scene occurs while Odysseus is in Phaeacia, in the court of Alcinous. While attending a banquet, the blind bard Demodocus sings of the adventures of Odysseus in Troy. Specifically, he sings of the quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles. However, this song brings sad memories to Odysseus, who starts crying. Seeing how upset his guest is, Alcinous decides to halt the song.
