Epimenides (lived 6th century BC)

Cretan poet and prophet, born at Phaestus. Although his life story includes a wealth of legend, he is known to have visited Athens at the invitation of Solon in about 596 BC in order to purify the city after a pestilence said to have been caused by the murder of Cylon. Epimenides is believed to be the ‘prophet’ alluded to by St Paul in his New Testament letter to Titus.
