Æneas

English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
There are two reasonably complete lives of Pythagoras, one by Diogenes Laertius, and another by Iamblichus. Personally, I prefer the latter, as Iamblichus, as might be inferred from his name, makes Pythagoras a descendant of Æneas, who was a son of Neptune.

Is Æneas the same as Aeneas?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Edith Kelly, Polangmar

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Dylan Edwards Jan 15, 2010:
Æneas is Aeneas, there's no doubt about that.
What I would query is whether it should be Æneas at all. Various sources mention ANCAEUS as a son of the sea god Neptune (or in Greek, Poseidon) and/or an ancestor of Pythagoras.

Is Hubbard trying to confuse us?

Hubbard is always so tongue in cheek in his writing it's hard to tell what he thought
agree Dylan Edwards : Yes, it's a different spelling of the same name, but I query the whole thing. I think it should be Ancaeus, not Aeneas.
