[edit] "Diachronically heavy"
I don't understand what the sentence "Therefore, western literature is diachronically heavy with allusions to the heritage of the ancient Greek myths" means. I would guess it either means A) throughout the history of western literature, there are allsuions to Greek myths or B) an allusion to Greek myth has 2500 years behind it, so when I speak of "Odysseus", the reference is not only to Homer, but also to Euripides, Ovid, Dante, and Joyce. Either way, I think the sentence needs to be rewritten to be clearer, and I hope the editor who wrote the sentence can clarify what s/he meant. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- It is the A.--Yannismarou 09:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. In my judgment the sentence is unnecessary, since the rest of the paragraph already tells us that Greek mythology has had influence on culture, art, and literature throughout western history, so I have removed it. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- OK! But I think a citation would still be useful there.--Yannismarou 10:18, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

- I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling you are messing ith people when you misspell every word in your post. If not, for the good of humanity, please learn to speak English. I'd hate to say it, but that was sad. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.100.53.115 (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
