Transliteration

[edit]

I have noticed there seems to be a great deal of fighting over what the title of this article should be. The most common transliteration of the ancient Greek name Χιόνη is Chione, which is currently the title of this article. Khione, which is what the title of the article was recently changed to, is a less common transliteration, but a more accurate reflection of how the name ought to be pronounced, since most English speakers will have a tendency to incorrectly pronounced the name "Chi-ōn," when it should really be pronounced "Khee-o-nee." Because Chione is the more prevalent transliteration and the one which readers will be more likely to recognize, it should be used as the title of the article, especially since the entire article uses this spelling. --Katolophyromai (talk) 16:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correction

[edit]

The article says that Chione is the sister of the Argonauts [an incredible feat if true].

Surely the intended word is sister of the Boreiads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.57.182.44 (talk) 11:12, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
