Dictys Cretensis, i.e. Dictys of Crete (/ˈdɪktɪskriːˈtɛnzɪs/, Classical Latin:[ˈdɪktʏskreːˈtẽːsɪs]; Ancient Greek: Δίκτυς ὁ Κρής) of Knossos was a legendary companion of Idomeneus during the Trojan War, and the purported author of a diary of its events, that deployed some of the same materials worked up by Homer for the Iliad. The story of his journal, an amusing fiction addressed to a knowledgeable Alexandrian audience[citation needed], came to be taken literally during Late Antiquity.
