Talk:Diotima
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given the symbolic importance of the figure of Diotima, now become somewhat independent of the Symposium, I think that a separate entry is imperative.

I agree with Tony. Don't merge. CDA 03:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Tony Preus and CDA. I intend to expand that article a little bit. It should remain as a separate entry. Chingon86 04:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Done. Now what? Do I remove the merge tag? Chingon86 00:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] pronunciation
Pronunciation, anyone? Greek spelling? Which syllable gets the stress in English? kwami 19:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
The stress goes to the "ti", kwami (DiotIma) and the greek spelling is "Διοτίμα". FIY, this is a very new magazine. Not sure if it falls under the "not notable" rule. We're (most probably) going to keep the article in the greek wikipedia, however - Badseed 20:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, Badseed. dye'-ə-tye'-mə, then. I take it then that the second iota is long? (Since the Greek alphabet is defective here, I can't derive the English pronunciation from the Greek spelling.) kwami 10:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
