Oooh… there’s a Telemachus on the way isn’t there? Or a Telemache….

Oh wait, Suanna doesn’t read this, does she?

So I’m definitely in the clear on Tacitus. Hesiod misspelled “Theogony,” so I ain’t taking the blame for that.

The shattering truth is that I didn’t suggest “Polytropos” as a blog name exactly. Actually I sort of did in a throwaway “surely you’re not interested in this killer blog name” way, but it was really one of the candidate names for a PC superhero of mine in our new Marvel Universe RPG campaign.

I WILL take partial credit for the description, “A blog of twists and turns” though.

Did you foist those Classicisms on them too? Is Petronius taken yet? :)
