[edit] Bellerophon - exoplanet

Bellerophon is also the name of the first exoplanet. Discovered in 1995 it is half the size of Jupiter and orbits eight times closer to its parent star than mercury.

[edit] Bellerophon and Uhhaziti

1. It is possible that Bellerophon (or else Bellerophontes) was the same person with Uhhaziti, king of Arzawa.
2. It is possible that "Arzawa" was the "Argive land", ancient colony of Argos (or else Achaeans, Myceneans), in Asia Minor (Arzawa < Arga-wa ).

Note: The word "-wa" means "land" in Hittite language.

[edit] Bellerophonetic Letters

I nearly created a new article concerning Bellerophonetic (sometimes Bellerophonic) Letters until I saw the reference footnote. Does anyone think it deserves it's own page? The reference is excellent though it doesn't actually give a definition that the letter contains prejudicial information regarding the bearer. Also the article to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern doesn't use the term either. Sorry for being a pain but I thought it would be good to have a page that could be connected to terms in letters etc.--FruitMonkey 09:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Would it really overwhelm this article? Better check the best usage of the term: Bellerophonetic doesn't sound the ring of pure gold.--Wetman 11:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
