[edit] Brykhon

I believe that this article may be in error. I can find no reference to a mythological god called Brykhon either on Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities or doing a Google search. There are no references given. I would vote Delete unless References are cited. James084 21:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Done. Keep. One reference, at least to the name of the river, is in Hesychius' dictionary Greek Wikisource. I have yet to find the reference for the story with the Giants - but that seems plausible. Wait till I get to consult "Thesaurus Linguae Graecae" tomorrow. I'd prefer to move to "Brychon", btw, or is there a policy in favour of <kh>? Lukas ^(T.|@) 22:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I now find that the name is still/again used for a river even today; the Modern Greek name form is Βρύχωνας/Βρύχωνα. Lukas ^(T.|@) 22:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Withdraw nomination. Vote Keep and move to Brychon as per Lukas above. James084 23:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
