Dionysus
There's no point giving more reasons to this IP user at Dionysus; he's long past WP:3RR. See [1] for more of his behaviour. I already opened a complaint at WP:SPI. Just waiting for an admin to do something. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 00:45, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
- Gotcha. I'll just undo without explanation if I see it again. davidiad { t } 00:49, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Phineus (son of Belus)
I don't think there any source that says that Phineus was the son of Belus, what the sources say is that Phineus was the brother of Cepheus, so Phineus son of Belus requires a lot of original resarch by synthesis, as we must suppose: (1) that Phineus and Cepheus had the same father (2) that Cepheus is the son of Belus.
In the pt-wiki, I made this article as Phineus (uncle of Andromeda) which seems more likely to correpond to what is in the text of Ps. Apollodorus and Ovid, and I add a touch of poison by modern authors that think that Phineus was not the brother, but the brother-in-law, of Cepheus, since he and Cassiopea would both be children of Phoenix, the son of Agenor, and Cassiopea, the daughter of Arabus.

- Hi Albmont, thanks for this. Actually the sources cited in the first note give the genealogy. The explicit reference to Phineus' being the son of Belos isn't in the Bibliotheca, but in the scholia to Aeschylus—ὁ Εὐριπίδης εʹ φησὶ παῖδας εἶναι Βήλου, Αἴγυπτον, Δαναόν, Φοίνικα, Φινέα, Ἀγήνορα—and in Nonnus—Βῆλος ἐπασσυτέρην γενεὴν σπερμήνατο παίδων, | Φινέα καὶ Φοίνικα λιπόπτολιν. (These are cited by Dräger; Tzetzes give the same genealogy a few times, too.) davidiad { t } 00:08, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
A is for …
I AfD'd Aeternae; could you just glance at it? I'm wondering whether it's a Greek name misunderstood by the (extremely thin) sources because of some similarity to the Latin adjective.
Also, I may have a key to the mystery of the Anthousai: see Tyche of Constantinople. It was unclear to me whether the reference meant that only this city's Tyche was called Anthousa, or whether Anthousai could thus be equivalent to Tychai. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:49, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
