Echemenes
Ἐχεμένης
(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.
