 "Eidolon" is also present in Stesichorus' account, but not in Herodotus' rationalizing version of the myth.In addition to these accounts, Lycophron 822 states that Hesiod was the first to mention Helen's "eidolon".This statement may mean Hesiod stated this in a literary work or that the idea was widely known/circulated in early archaic Greece during the time of Hesiod and was consequently attributed to him.
