[edit] Milos Archipelago
What about the Milos Archipelago? I believe this refers to the island of Milos and those around it. If so, it might be interesting to add a note about it somewhere in this article, as well as a redirect for it. --Jwinius 23:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I really hate this Google count, but I use it nevertheless. Milos Archipelago is mentioned just seven times in the web - it is not any particularly popular expression. Put it in if you like it.--FocalPoint 08:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Athenian genocide
This is mentioned without further explanation, so use of it as a means of dating the use of Malos really doesn't work. Jim 02:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
The comment is valid. I added the date. Please note, however, that the Athenian genocide is mentioned in the text. In Milos#History the following text is written:
"in 415 BC the Athenians, having attacked the island and compelled the Milians to surrender, slew all the men capable of bearing arms, made slaves of the women and children"
This is the genocide which was performed by the Athenians.--FocalPoint 17:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
