Working my way through some corrections
Posted by lbowman on 07 Jun 2018 in Activity log, Tasks
I'm working my way through the character listings, correcting as I go. I'm trying to go alphabetically but keep getting led astray ... in any event, here are today's corrections:
- Abas son of Lynceus and Hypermnestra: has two “Spouses” listed, Aglaia and Lyrcus. Lyrcus is his bastard son, not his spouse.
- 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.
- Gorgophone’s spouse is correctly listed as Perieres, but Perieres’ spouse is incorrectly listed as Gorgo (who is the spouse or something of Egyptus).
- One of Gorgo’s possible mothers is listed as Andromeda, but this is again because she has been confused with Gorgophone.
- Another of Gorgo’s possible mothers is listed as Androdamas, but Androdamas is a male, son of Phlias.
- Androdamas’ spouse is given as Phineus, but Phineus is also male and never (successfully) married.
- All of the children ascribed to Androdamas are actually children of Andromeda.
- 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.
- 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.
