Idomeneus

/ aɪˈdɒmɪˌnjuːs /

noun

Crebillon ventured upon another tragedy, and chose for his subject the story of the Cretan king, Idomeneus.

Shall I make mention of the realm of Neoptolemus, and Idomeneus' household gods overthrown?

These spear-famed Idomeneus commanded, and Meriones, equal to man-slaying Mars: with these followed eighty dark ships.

For him unlucky fate first encircled from the spear of Idomeneus, the illustrious son of Deucalion.

Idomeneus slays Alcathous, over whose body a sharp contest ensues.
