Il bk 16.178 Hermes in called "Slayer of Argos", marked it up as Hermes but should Hermes have this title as an aka since it is well know? possibly a link to Argos and to the event?

Achilles horses Balios and Xanthus appear in il bk 16.141 and will have speaking lines later on. Should we mark them up as characters or should there be a mythical beasts category? a also Pedasos ilbk16.141, mortal horse of Eetion that Achilles takes after the sack of Hypoplacian Thebes. disambig... person, place & horse

For Sophie (and any future new project members), here is an easy way to resolve conflicts that arise from trying to commit documents that have been edited by more than one person during a session:

1. Drag the relevant (edited) files from the mom directory to the desktop.

2. Delete the remaining contents of the mom directory, but not the directory folder itself.

3. Perform an svn update as usual.

4. Open Oxygen; under Tools, select "Compare Files."

5. Open the desktop version of your file on one side and the one from the directory on the other.

6. Differences will display as red tabs on the scrollbar; click on them to jump to the conflict.

7. Carry over your changes to the directory version using the directional arrows (pay attention to the hover text and watch to be certain the changes you made now appear in both files).

8. When the documents are free of conflicts, you can validate and save.

9. Perform an svn commit as usual.

10. Before you delete the mom files on the desktop, it's worth checking that your changes went through. Then you can log out/shut down.

Note this prose verse from 15.514:

"At that moment the valiant warrior Dolops son of Lampos sprang upon Lampos was son of Laomedon and for his valor, while his son Dolops was versed in all the ways of war. He then struck the middle of the son of Phyleus' shield with his spear, setting on him at close quarters, but his good corselet made with plates of metal saved him;"

I checked it against the OpenLibrary edition, and copied two small grammatical changes which give the passage greater clarity. It now reads:

"At that moment the valiant warrior Dolops son of Lampos sprang upon him; Lampos was son of Laomedon and noted for his valor, while his son Dolops was versed in all the ways of war. He then struck the middle of the son of Phyleus' shield with his spear, setting on him at close quarters, but his good corselet made with plates of metal saved him;"
