Talk:Battle of Mycale

Who are the Milesians? The link in The battle section suggests that they are somehow connected to Miletus of Greek mythology, but no mention of them is made in the Miletus article. Furthermore, there is a Milesians link, but it refers to the Sons of Mil Espaine (Milesius) from Irish mythology, which appears to be a different group. This inadvertent entanglement of these two Wikipedia uses should be straightened out with either a disambiguation page or a combined article, and this article's reference should point to the appropriate page. -- Jeff Q 07:28, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
- The Miletus article is a little confusing - the ancient city was very real and one of the important cities of Asia Minor, the mythological eponym was unimportant. I'll work over the city article to clarify this. Stan 12:04, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks. Please also include some mention of who the Milesians are, if they are related to Miletus (and if you know, that is). With this information, I can figure out how to fix the corresponding pages and links, like the one in this article. -- Jeff Q 14:44, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
- The Milesians are the inhabitants of Miletus - consonant change is just a little oddity of Greek. Stan 17:46, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
