Talk:Achilles Tatius

[edit] Two Articles in One?
I don't want to immediately edit this page (though if no interest/argument is made against my doing so, I shall), but surely the entry for Leucippe and Clitophon should be entirely seperate from this entry on Achilles Tatius himself (much as with Xenophon of Ephesus and his Ephesian Tale)? Also, I'd question its "low importance" to the study of Classical Greece and Rome, but that'd just be bias on my part! -> Wiper 17:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, they should be separate. Go ahead and do it, I say. As for the "low importance", it is one of the sillier manifestations of the current fashion for project templates. Whatever the relative importance of Achilles Tatius and other writers, the presence of good articles about less-known people and things is crucial to the success of an encyclopedia -- more so, I think, than having a few star-quality articles about stars.

- Done, to the best of my ability. A little tidying required (on both entries), but hopefully an improvement! -> Wiper 11:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
