Idomeneus of Lampsacus

The titles of the following works of Idomeneus are mentioned:

• History of Samothrace (Greek: Ἱστορία τῶν κατὰ Σαμοθρᾴκην).^[5] This work is probably the one referred to by the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes.
• On the Socratics (Greek: Περὶ τῶν Σωκρατικῶν), of which some fragments survive.^[6]

The title of one of the work or works of Idomeneus is not known, but it contained accounts of the following people: of the Peisistratidae,^[7] of Themistocles^[8] of Aristides,^[9] of Pericles,^[10] of Demosthenes,^[11] of Aeschines,^[12] of Hyperides,^[13] and of Phocion.^[14] It is possible that all these persons were mentioned in one work, to which modern writers have assigned various conjectural titles. The true title of the work may have been On the Athenian leaders (Greek: Περὶ τῶν Aθηνησι δημαγωγῶν).
