Cool article! Lemprière gets this stuff from Thyucydides, I presume? I have so put it, please correct if it's wrong, and please regularize the Lemprière's Dictionary reference if you want it to stay. Bishonen 12:21, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Lempriere, as you know, is an Englishman who wrote his dictionary entirely from his memory and his capacious reading. There are mistakes in it, but few. At any rate, I have an 1848 edition, which is in public domain and yet corrected by a few hands since the original. Thus, the text is reliable and yet freely available. However, the amount of changing of wording I did was such that I felt that it wasn't necessary to cite it. I really ought to make a Lempriere template at some point, though, as he's very good for small Classical references. Geogre 19:12, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • I cannot find any references to this figure in Thucydides. Herodotus mentions a Hegetorides, but only as the father of another figure, not in his own right.
