Greeks

Posted by simon on 16 Jul 2012 in Activity log

I am currently making all the demonyms for Apollodorus and came across "greeks" just after the bit with Deucalion's flood. All that happens is that they have their name changed to Hellenes. Lauren thinks that it's not good to mark them up as Greeks because that's not how it would show up in the Greek. I'm not sure what to do: Mark it up; leave it blank? Laurel? Simon

It's true that I think that a "Greeks" group might be too big to be useful, since it will include a huge number of people and groups, and criteria for membership will be difficult to define and apply consistently, especially since I don't think that "Greeks" is used consistently of any Greek word across texts and translations. I could be brought around to the idea of such a group, but only if we think carefully about it first and are explicit about what a "greeks" group is, who will be in it and when will we use it. --Lauren
