mc5 - 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.

(Winning move unaltered.)

The Greeks had legends of a warlike people on an island at the edge of the world, whose men painted themselves blue and wore skirts: the Robroi.

Haites introduced the custom of a light cooked meal around 5pm, followed by cakes and pastries.

Mnemonikos Mathematician: notated experimental method of new intricate knowledge occupying synapses.
[Raak] A veritable compliment. Thank you :-)

It is said that the Kuddlitoi held a smaller-scale, local form of Olympic-style Games, but weekly, instead of every four years. Successful competitors could win fabulous prizes and their success was broadcast throughout the land.
