In Apollodorus 3.15.1 The sons of Pandion split the inheritance where Erechtheus gets the kingdom of Athens and Butes gets the priesthood of Athena but also that of Poseidon. The problem is that in this instance Poseidon's priesthood is named the priesthood of "Poseidon Erechtheus" It is currently marked up as "Poseidon" and "Erechtheus" which kind of inplies that the priesthood of Poseidon went to Erechtheus. But in Perseus a note says that in Athens people prayed to "Poseidon Erechtheus" because poseidon was associated with Erechtheus. So, did Poseidon's priesthood go to Erechtheus or to Butes and was called "Poseidon Erechtheus"? If the later is true, should I include "Poseidon Erechtheus" as an AKA for Poseidon? Thanks ~Simon

In Apollodorus 3.13.8 Phoenix is blinded for supposedly having seduced his father's concubine Phthia. Phthia is currently marked up as a place, which is wrong, but there are two Phthias and thus I don't know how to re-mark it. I looked on Perseus but it has no info. Wikipedia figures there are four Phthias, the one who had a bunch of sons by Apollo, the concubine, the daughter of Phoroneus and the Niobid. Both wikipedia and Perseus also identify the concubine as Clytie or Clytia but that name doesn't show up anywhere else in Apollodorus either. So the question becomes: is this a new character, and if so, should Clytia or Phthia_3 be "aka"s? On a different note, do we have a place for the House of Peleus? ~Simon
