Armenidas Explained

Armenidas (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἀρμενίδας) or Armenides (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἀρμενίδης) was a writer of ancient Greece who wrote a work on Thebes (Θηβαϊκα), which is referred to by the Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius and Stephanus of Byzantium.[1] [2] But whether his work was written in prose or in verse, and at what time the author lived, is not known.

Very little of his writing exists today. A number of his fragments can be found in the Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum of Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Müller, as well as Fragmente der griechischen Historiker by Felix Jacoby.[3] Some of them discuss the Telchines, and the dogs of Actaeon.[4]
