Dictys Cretensis

Dictys Cretensis (i. e. of Crete), supposedly was there during the the siege of Troy (perhaps around 1,180 B.C as some evidences suggest the date of this legendary war), was the reputed Greek author of a narrative of the Trojan war from the birth of Paris to the death of Ulysses, extant only in a Latin translation. The importance attached to this narrative and others ascribed to the same author is, that they are the source of many of the Greek legends we find inwoven from time to time in the mediæval literature that has come down to us.
