Talk:Tower of the Winds

Omission
No explanation in the current version how this structure received its name, "Tower of the Winds". -- llywrch (talk) 21:44, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's called that because, as described in the article, each of its eight sides depicted one of the eight winds: Boreas (N), Kaikias (NE), Apeliotes (SE), Eurus (E), Notus (S), Livas (SW), Zephyrus (W), and Skiron (NW). Paul August &#9742; 22:12, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right, that information is in the article; however, it is buried. I was looking for something like a sentence beginning, "This structure is called the Tower of the Winds..." which would be easier for our readers to find. Further, there is no indication whether this is its original name, or if its original name is known, or if its current name was created by a modern Classicist based on the names of the eight sides. All details, I assume, that are retrievable thru a search of the relevant secondary literature. -- llywrch (talk) 20:41, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Ιησούς Χριστός this page is ugly
and for such a beautiful building and location. I'll fix the odious lead image but, other editors who take this page under their wings, kindly go pull the vastly more attractive and helpful images off of the Greek version of this article. — Llywelyn II   20:51, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
