Kallimachos

[edit]

I don't know enough of the subject to comment if the spelling change makes sense, but thought I should point out that it would have been better to use the "move" tab to make the change (the history lists seem to indicate you did a copy and paste). Move preserves the history of the page in a more accessible way. John (Jwy) 16:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Both names could be considered accurate, but 'Kallimachos' is closer to his name than Latinized 'Callimachus.' (Outside of special cases, I dislike Latinized names when we are dealing with Greek words; Odysseus not Ulysses, for example.) And thank you for the tip on "move," I thought there must be a better way but for some reason just couldn't find it. I apologize. Aophite 00:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
