Ooh! Nitpicking. I love nitpicking. Some scientists propose that human beings developed so early hominids could rid themselves of fleas and lice, so you could say that we are all *born* to nitpick. So.

Having browsed mythological websites a lot (as can be inferred from my lj username) I get the impression the greeks didn't exactly have standardised spelling...

Also, the nitpicky geek next to me wishes me to relate that Thermopylae is actually the name of a mountain pass --named for the hotsprings there, hence the name 'pillars of fire'-- where the famous battle *of* Thermopylae took place.
