INCORRECT!

Bellerophon and Uhhaziti

It is possible that Bellerophon (or else Bellerophontes) was the same person with Uhhaziti, king of Arzawa.
It is possible that "Arzawa" was the "Argive land", ancient colony of Argos (or else Achaeans, Myceneans), in Asia Minor (Arzawa < Arga-wa ).

Note: The word "-wa" means "land" in Hittite language.

Bellerophonetic Letters

I nearly created a new article concerning Bellerophonetic (sometimes Bellerophonic) Letters until I saw the reference footnote. Does anyone think it deserves it's own page? The reference is excellent though it doesn't actually give a definition that the letter contains prejudicial information regarding the bearer. Also the article to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern doesn't use the term either. Sorry for being a pain but I thought it would be good to have a page that could be connected to terms in letters etc.--FruitMonkey 09:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would it really overwhelm this article? Better check the best usage of the term: Bellerophonetic doesn't sound the ring of pure gold.--Wetman 11:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

Out of curiosity, why would the name of a mythological hero whose story was around centuries before the Greeks made contact with the Romans contain a latin cognate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.107.81.13 (talk) 22:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because both Latin and Greek are Indo-European languages. In fact, the branch of the Indo-European language family leading to Greek is more similar to the branch leading to Latin (and thus French, Spanish, etc) than to any other major group of I-E languages. Remember, "cognate" does not mean "borrowed from" it means "derived from the same source as". 199.90.28.195 (talk) 16:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Old English

Under 'capturing Pegasus', what Athena says is literally taken from an old translation of the text in archaic English. Since I am pretty sure that the original myth wasn't in old English, I don't see the point in this, since it feels out of place and a bit pretentious. Wouldn't it be better to paraphrase the source?
