Talk:Idalium

Is this information correct???
I know it is from Britannica, but I just visited Idalion (sic) and the information I have is that it dates from considerably earlier than this. See

for the 2005 results. The Dorling Kindersley guide to Cyprus also has some information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 51kwad (talk • contribs) 12:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Rename to Idalion?
I reversed the order (Greek first) in the lede, and all the sources we quote or cite use "Idalion". I presume "Idalium" is the Latin version, but is there any reason for the article to be named that? Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 20:47, 16 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, it should be moved to Idalion, over the redirect. Maybe when I'm feeling less lazy. :-) Ploversegg (talk) 16:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Ohnefalsch-Richter
"The first to attempt to make a coherent history from finds at Dhali was Max Ohnefalsch-Richter, a journalist and self taught archaeologist who later became Director of Antiquities. Ohnefalsch-Richter dug at the site of ancient Idalion in 1883 and 1885, and returned to the area numerous times in subsequent years." in P. Gaber ,"The History of History: Excavations at Idalion and the Changing History of a City-Kingdom", NEA Vol.71, Nos. 1&2, pp. 51–63, 2008 Just FYI :-) Ploversegg (talk) 15:41, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
