Myths on Maps

LB wanted the attached images to get posted so the issue can be investigated later.

I came across a family tree which I believe is including the wrong Sophocles and potentially also the wrong Themistocles, both of which I have labelled with a blue star in the attached photo. Here is a link to the related characters and their passage can be found in PAUS 1.37.1

LB drafted the PDF.

1. Abas son of Lynceus and Hypermnestra: has two “Spouses” listed, Aglaia and Lyrcus. Lyrcus is his bastard son, not his spouse.
2. Anchises who is the father of Echepolus of Sicyon, who is a Greek, cannot be the same Anchises as the one who is the father of Aeneas, since they are Trojan. at least it seems very unlikely. I would create a second Anchises.
3. Gorgophone’s spouse is correctly listed as Perieres, but Perieres’ spouse is incorrectly listed as Gorgo (who is the spouse or something of Egyptus).
4. One of Gorgo’s possible mothers is listed as Andromeda, but this is again because she has been confused with Gorgophone.
5. Another of Gorgo’s possible mothers is listed as Androdamas, but Androdamas is a male, son of Phlias.
6. Androdamas’ spouse is given as Phineus, but Phineus is also male and never (successfully) married.
7. All of the children ascribed to Androdamas are actually children of Andromeda.
8. Phineus’ spouse is listed as Andromeda, but in fact he didn’t marry her, because Perseus turned him to stone first. Phineus had no spouse.
9. Aphareus is listed as the father of Ida (a nymph who reared Zeus), Lynceus, and Pisus, and Lynceus’ siblings are listed as Ida and Pisus. However Aphareus is the father of IDAS (a son), not Ida, who has no known parents, like most nymphs. Aphareus’ children are Idas, Lynceus and Pisus; Lynceus’ siblings are Idas and Pisus.

Here is built also a sanctuary of the Mother of the gods; the image is by Pheidas. (PAUS1 1.3.5) The goddess "Mother" should have an ID but I can't figure out which goddess Pausanias is referring to.

There is some confusion in the XML regarding Adamas and his description. Currently it states he is the grandson of Hyrtacus.However I came across a line that suggests this description is false and that he is the son of a different Asius. "Adamas son on Asios, and Asios son of Hyrtacus" Homer, Iliad 13.754. If Asios in this line is two different people then I believe Adamas' description is wrong and should be changed to " Son of Asius, a warrior in the Trojan War". If they are the same Asius then the description is right and I can simply just fix the xml so that it represents this.

How are we going to add additional references for people in groups as we continue to analyse texts. Example: Asius (ASIU1) shows up in both Apollodorus and Homer as a member of the Trojan War organization, yet he is only referenced in the XML from Apollodorus. The question being how do we go about adding the second reference in XML and is it worth doing.

How to deal with the issue of when the names of individuals from a group are unknown and they need to be listed as the children of a person. Example: The Corybantes (CORY2) are the children of Apollo (APOL4). We do not have the names of the individuals so we have to reference them as an organization. What is the solution to this problem?

There seems to be a systematic error concerning the fetching of children. If there is a space at the front of the list of children it will display an extra comma in mom. Example relation name="mother" active=" #ASTY18" will lead to a display of children: Astyoche.,

Anchises (ANCH3) has Children: Aeneas, Echepolos.Hippodamia, Lyrus,
This looks strange as the period should be at the end and the comma in the middle.

Also Happens for the children of Talaemenes (TALA1)
Children: Antiphus.Mesthles,

Augeas (AUGE2) has four children. One of them, Agamede (AGAM1), does not show up under his genealogy. She also does not show up under the genealogy of the three other siblings: Agathenes (AGAS1), Phyleus (PHYL7) and Epicaste (EPIC2). This is likely a mark-up error as it is an isolated incident.
