<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nicholas Molinari, post: 2459857, member: 78411&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; I did a poor job translating this note from the Italian: Okeanus vs Okeanos/ Euripides vs Euripedes.&nbsp; Lots of inconsistencies I thought I caught. A work is never finished but at some point you have to pull the plug and this was a last minute insert.&nbsp; I promise there aren&#039;t many.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to keep in mind is that the manuscripts recording Hesiod are from the 1st century AD, which means it was very far removed from the original tales and probably influenced by later traditions. I still think Hesiod elevated Okeanos over Acheloios because Hesiod hated mercenaries (Acheloios was loved by mercenaries), but the Homeric tradition and that of the Orphic ieras logos reflect earlier thinking.The Derveni is dated to the mid 4th century BC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
