It's all Greeks to Me

We had a game once upon a time where we catalogued the names of some of the lesser-known Knights of the Round Table, such as Sir Kit Breaker, Sir Gycal Truss, Sir Monon de Mounte and so forth. I thought it might be educational to go further back, to Greek times, and list a few of them. John Cleese, Androcles and Pericles may be quite well-known, but what about the tailors Euripides and Eumenides, for example? Extra points will be given for providing some biographical details on these long-forgotten fellows.

The Greek rhetorician Colander was notorious for arguing cases in such a manner that, as Socrates later put it, he was like one trying to draw up water in a net. Hence the modern use of his name for a coarse sieve for draining vegetables. Colander and his contemporaries are credited with spurring the development of formal logic, as a reaction against their rhetorical excesses.
Well, ahead of his time, this philosopher saw the possibility of breaking down tasks into simple component parts 'such that they could be performed by an engine devoid of reason, thus releasing the wise man to pursue the exercise of the mind' Alas he was ahead of his time and it was 2000 years before the realisation of the ideas of Spiningenes
