Myths on Maps

In order to make our apps more portable (ie. deploying an app in the new xar format - which defaults to putting everything in /db/apps/) we need to be able to refer to collections and documents relatively.

So, instead of declaring an absolute path
let $coll := collection('/db/site/xml/texts')

we can create our working collection with relative paths like this:
let $pwd := substring-after(system:get-module-load-path(), 'xmldb:exist://embedded-eXist-server')
let $coll := collection(resolve-uri('xml/texts',$pwd))

jQuery doesn't like element IDs containing regexp control characters (in my case, decimal points) because it uses regexp internally to parse it. The result is that when I use jQuery to check length (or existence) of a DOM node that contains a decimal point (e.g. section-id_apollodorus-library_1.1.1) it doesn't find nodes that demonstrably *do* exist.

To address the problem I create a new variable that escapes the troublesome ID:
var jDataId = dataId.replace(/\./g,"\\.");

Then I just refer to the escaped var instead of the original.

Created another character, Medon ("medon_2") because "medon" refers to the suitor of Penelope in Apollodorus (and who is the existing Medon) while in the Iliad they are referring to a different Medon - son of Rhene and Oileus - this medon is now labeled under "medon_2"

Using the father relationships, I was able to figure out there was a second Epistrophus (spelt Epistrophos in the Iliad) mentioned in the Iliad different from the leader of the Alizones/Phocians. The new character is epistrophus_3 - the son of Euenor (King of Thebes)

In 5.35, "Halizoni" is spelt "Halizonoi" - after checking Samuel Butler's translation, it is supposed to be "Halizoni" and I have changed that accordingly
