Name of the article
Given Odyssey, should we change this to Herakles? Originally, this article was named because of his appearance in the Glyphs/Rifts, but I'd daresay 'Herakles' is used way more in canon by now than 'Hercules'. Sadelyrate (siniath) 09:22, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
- I agree, we should indeed use the name most used (in this case Herakles) in such a case. Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:27, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
- Should we do the same then with Asclepius and Asklepios? If I recall right, most ingame locations and mentions of him are "Asklepios". Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:28, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
- That's the Roman variation of the name, as most of the Greek gods were assimilated into Roman culture after the Roman Empire conquered Greece. I feel that we should retain 'Hercules' as the name of the article and redirect 'Herakles' to this, like many of the Jupiter/Zeus articles. Even though Herakles is used more often, it doesn't discount the fact that the hero was introduced into the AC universe as 'Hercules'. XOdeyssusx (talk)
- By our naming policy, the name used in the most recent appearance and/or the more prominent appearance takes precedence. Even if not so, Herakles is originally a Greek hero, not a Roman one, so using his original name would be more accurate. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 15:38, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
