Kallikrates/Talk

Do we want to be naming Greeks using the transliterations? Callicrates? is beyond doubt going to be the more common form, and there is already a precedent set by Greek mythology pages...

fine with me. I wrote the Kallikrates/Callikrates? and Iktinos/Ictinus? entries, but the Parthenon page was begun by an ethnic Greek, and I wasn't going to change his spelling. My own PREFERENCE would be to use the Latin. My usual COMPROMISE is to use the Greek. --MichaelTinkler

Oh, and, I'd say that scholarly usage decidedly shifted around 1970 to using the Greek form. I'm using a book for a class this term whose first edition was published in 1967 and was a little jolted to see Ictinus and Callicrates. Popular usage, though, should probably determine the general listing (pace the American Civil War controversy) --MichaelTinkler
