[edit] Wandering and Clashing Rocks

Both Clashing Rocks and Wandering Rocks redirect here but my recollection is that there were two sets of rocks - one at the Bosporous (I think it's confusing to use "the Hellespont" to describe the single point where the rocks were) and another on the return journey by Jason/Odysseus' voyage which served as an alternative route to sailing between Scylla and Charybdis. Does anyone know enough to sort all of this out? Timrollpickering 08:41, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronounciation

Can anyone offer a proper pronounciation for "Symplegades"? I've heard it as sim-PLUH-gades and sim-pluh-GAH-dees and sim-PLEG-uh-dees and Lord knows what else. What's correct? Mattymatt 06:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
