Eche'menes
(
Ἐχεμένης), is mentioned by Athenaeus (xiii. p. 601) as the author of
Κρητικά, from which a statement relating to the mythical history of Crete is there quoted. Vossius (
de Hist. Graec. p. 436, ed. Westerm.) proposes to read in Fulgentius (
Mythol. 1.14), Echemenes for Euxemenes, who is there spoken of as the author of
Μυθολογούμενα, of which the first book is quoted.
But this conjecture is without support.
