Source edit

Is it possible to get a date and place of original publication for this translation? According to Project Gutenberg, the translator is uncredited, but there must still be some information about where this came from. -- Visviva 04:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

[1] is an undated US copy that says it's a 1912 publication by the Athenian Society.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
The Athenian Society translation was published anonymously, and I am working on getting a source scan for the 1912 edition. Hathi Trust has volume II, but no one seems to have volume I. I've acquired a copy of the volume, and I am now trying to get someone to scan it. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:25, 18 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Spelling edit

By the way, Posidon is spelled Poseidon.--Fern 24 (talk) 16:25, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

English spelling of the name varied during the 19th century. Some source texts spell it differently, and we always follow the source text. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:22, 18 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
