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:
“Most young black females learn to be suspicious and critical of feminist thinking long before they have any clear understanding of its theory and politics.... Without rigorously engaging feminist thought, they insist that racial separatism works best. This attitude is dangerous. It not only erases the reality of common female experience as a basis for academic study; it also constructs a framework in which differences cannot be examined comparatively.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“The works of women are symbolical.
We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight,
Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,
To put on when you’re weary or a stool
To stumble over and vex you ... “curse that stool!”
Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean
And sleep, and dream of something we are not,
But would be for your sake. Alas, alas!
This hurts most, this ... that, after all, we are paid
The worth of our work, perhaps.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
