Hmm, okay I was clearly off-target on the “no duplicates” thing. And I should have noticed the edes/ides ending is quite common, so that’s the equivalent of mac, o’ or ___son. I still wonder if there’s some sort of set of rules they had. If Archimedes was son of Archim, say, can he call his own son Archimedesedes ? Plus of course the ancient Greeks had a variety of cultures, it may have been different in say Sparta, Athens and Rhodes.
And although they were Macedonians, there were several kings named Philip.
Paradoxically, there were a couple of famous Zenos, too.
Just for the record, Plato is a nickname (Platon=broad or thick. His wrestling coach named him that, either because he had broad shoulders or a big forehead). His actual name was Aristocles.
Hating puns, I’m a hypocrite to point this out, but there were too famous Hippocrates, two.
