[edit] Merge or Disambiguation

I have given considerable thought to options of merging and or doing a Lyrcus (disambiguation) over the last couple of days as this article matured. While researching this article for the ancient Greek figures I found that there are also two (insect I think) species that incorporate the name Lyrcus. I beleive that when someone is ready to write the species articles the Lyrcus (disambiguation) should be built and link back to Lyrcus and to the new species articles.

The Lyrcus who is described in Lyrcus#City of Lyrceia is very simular to Lynceus but he also has attributes like illegitimate son of Abas which are in complete conflict with Lynceus. My thought is that Lyrcus as described in Lyrcus#City of Lyrceia should probably stay here, but an ancient Greek expert may disagree. If you feel the need, please think about it a day or so before you do it and maybe let me in on your thought process.

The Lyrcus as related by Parthenius was the one who got me started on this article, as an off shoot of research I was doing for Staphylus. I think he is the main figure with this name and should probably always have the title page. I am not sure but I think there is a family link between the two and the Lyrcus as related by Parthenius is the elder. It is challenging at best to work out true names, relations and linage for figures with mixed historical and mythological features.

Please vet the changes I've just made and revert any that aren't improvements. Your linking the two figures seems the most encyclopedic treatment to me. Subjects can be split up into such minute fragments that information is lost. I de-linked some figures who only appear in this Romance and couldn't have encyclopedia articles written about them. --Wetman (talk) 20:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Your polishing looks good to me, Thanks Jeepday (talk) 04:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
