Sevso?

[edit]

Why is the name transcribed into the modern 26-letter alphabet as Sevso? Wouldn't Seuso be more likely? AnonMoos 23:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am convinced that this is just an error that was made by some upper level media announcement in English and repeated all over the world in English popular usage. The spelling should be Seuso, since this is a Roman name, from Graeco-Roman heritage: ancient Latin orthography of EVROPA, EVCLIDES, AVREVS aren't transcribed as *Evropa, *Evclides or *Avrevs either. These must be written in English context as Europa, Euclides and aureus. I will modify the title of the article if there is no objection. --Gonda Attila (talk) 11:56, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The ghits seem about equal, so I have no objection, but I have removed the POV unsourced OR about the other being "mistaken". It has been used in many scholarly publications in WEnglish, and remains valid. Johnbod (talk) 15:03, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amphora

[edit]

The amphora(s) with Dionysus probably need further attention here. In themselves they are fantastic objects (see NY Times) and probably deserve a section at the very least. Ode+Joy (talk) 14:36, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
