Works
The titles of the following works of Idomeneus are mentioned:
- History of Samothrace (Greek: Ἱστορία τῶν κατὰ Σαμοθρᾴκην). 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.
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, of Themistocles of Aristides, of Pericles, of Demosthenes, of Aeschines, of Hyperides, and of Phocion. 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).

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Men seem anxious to accomplish an orderly retreat through the centuries, earnestly rebuilding the works behind them, as they are battered down by the encroachments of time; but while they loiter, they and their works both fall prey to the arch enemy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is the art of mankind to polish the world, and every one who works is scrubbing in some part.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Only the more uncompromising of the mystics still seek for knowledge in a silent land of absolute intuition, where the intellect finally lays down its conceptual tools, and rests from its pragmatic labors, while its works do not follow it, but are simply forgotten, and are as if they never had been.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
