Why Is Idomeneus of Lampsacus Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Idomeneus of Lampsacus was a friend and disciple of Epicurus. Life Little is known about his life, except that he married Batis of Lampsacus, the sister of Metrodorus, and he was a court dignitary at Lampsacus around 306–301 BC. Idomeneus wrote a considerable number of philosophical and historical works, and though the latter were not regarded as of very great authority, still they must have been of considerable value, as they seem to have been chiefly devoted to an account of the lives of the leading figures of Greece.
