Category talk:Ancient Greek names

To me, it seems that we (and I include myself in it) are mixing up lexicographic and encyclopaedic material. --Barytonesis (talk) 15:27, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm currently facing several problems:
 * let's take Eileithyia: should it be considered a transliteration of or a borrowing from Εἰλείθυια? What about Diomedes? Callistratus? The boundary seems tenuous.
 * should we provide prosopographical information? I mean, is a dictionary the right place to do that? Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't, in a very inconsistent manner.
 * if we did, shouldn't we have something like Category:Historical figures?
 * how should Θησεύς be categorised? Maybe we should have Category:Mythological figures (ok, we already do apparently) ?
 * also, I'm somewhat reluctant to use Category:Ancient Greek given names with mythological figures. The only case when I do that without hesitation is when I see several historical figures who bear the same name (that is, 1. when a DGE entry says there are, for example with Ἀνδροσθένης; or 2. when I can find several articles on Wikipedia, as with ).
 * what exactly do we mean when we translate Ἀλκιβιάδης by Alcibiades?
 * I'm thinking should add "borrowed" categories in addition to "transliterated" categories. Transliteration is, after all, a subtype of borrowing. Essentially it is a borrowing from a language that uses a different script. (In that case, the "transliterated" categories should be added automatically by .) — Eru·tuon 21:37, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I've made use, so words will now be placed in both categories by default. — Eru·tuon 21:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
