Myths on Maps

I can't figure out which death goddesses Butler is refering to when he says "Strife and Riot, and fell Fate who was dragging three men after her" il bk 18.509 here is the greek: στησάμενοι δ᾽ ἐμάχοντο μάχην ποταμοῖο παρ᾽ ὄχθας, βάλλον δ᾽ ἀλλήλους χαλκήρεσιν ἐγχείῃσιν. 535ἐν δ᾽ Ἔρις ἐν δὲ Κυδοιμὸς ὁμίλεον, ἐν δ᾽ ὀλοὴ Κήρ, ἄλλον ζωὸν ἔχουσα νεούτατον, ἄλλον ἄουτον, ἄλλον τεθνηῶτα κατὰ μόθον ἕλκε ποδοῖιν: εἷμα δ᾽ ἔχ᾽ ἀμφ᾽ ὤμοισι δαφοινεὸν αἵματι φωτῶν. ὡμίλευν δ᾽ ὥς τε ζωοὶ βροτοὶ ἠδ᾽ ἐμάχοντο, 540νεκρούς τ᾽ ἀλλήλων ἔρυον κατατεθνηῶτας. I figured out Strife is Eris. Is Riot Enyo?

In il bk 18.483 with the description of Achilles shield: How do I mark up the constellations? I can markup Pleiads as the Pleiades-the seven sisters or should I not mark it up at all because it is just stars on the shield...? Wow loaded question!

Hi Lauren, The character of Doris seems to be listed as an Oceanid in Apollodorus but a Nereid in Homer. Should I include the Doris person in both group files? I can't see that they are different people with the same name or if Apollodorus and Homer just disagree which category she belongs to. Until you decide they are two different people I have put xml:id doris in both group lists.

Hi Lauren,

came across conflict with NEREIDS. many different spellings of their individual names. Butler went heavy on the "K"s but other sources went with "C"s as in Cymodoce instead of Kymodoke. which should we go for and should we offer the alternate as an aka?

For now I will leave the alternate spellings below and have them commented out in the xml.

Kymodoke = Cymodoce (Κυμοδόκη)
Speo = Speio (Σπειώ) or Spio as we have it in the character file from Apollodorus
Limnoria(Apollodorus) = Limnorea(Butler) = Limnoreia(Wikipedia: Λιμνώρεια)
Iaira (Homer) = Iaera (Wikipedia: Ἴαιρα)
kallianeira(butler) = Callianeira (Καλλιάνειρα)

Completed proof of il bk 16. 9am-11:30am = 2.5hours started markup of il bk 18 up to .28. Nereids took so long. 2:30-4pm= 1.5hours total = 4hours

Completed initial markup of IL bk 17. hours: 9:30-11:30= 2 hours + proofed il bk 16 to .394 ... 2:30pm-5pm = 2.5 hours total=4.5 hours

Hey Greg. Place name Lyktos is doing the same thing as Troy was with constantly "retrieving data". I think it was an issue with the aka but I don't know how to fix it. Thanks.

Continued on markup of il bk 17 up to .582. many character markup edits, continued working on glossary of greek terms. stopped at Asios character conflict. 1pm-4pn=3hrs

Markup for il bk 17 up to .355. A bunch of place and name conflicts. See Periphas and Hippasus posts. 10am-2:30pm = 4.5 hours

I came across the same problem as before with the Periphas missing _1 but this time it was Hippasus missing _1 there are now 4 hippasus and they each have an _#. Would you like me to change Apollodorus 1.9.16 and 2.7.7?
