We prove results about the spectrum of compact operators on Banach spaces, recovering many of the results obtained earlier for compact self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces. We show that the spectrum consists entirely of eigenvalues, apart perhaps from zero, that each eigenvalues has finite multiplicity, and that the eigenvalues have no accumulation points except zero.
