Naming

Hey, I'm a little confused by this page... how come the guy is named three different things: Hiero II, Hieron II and Hiëro II in the same article? Should a particular version of the name be used under particular circumstances? Thanks. --82.3.242.244 (talk) 16:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Archimedes

The section on Archimedes appears to be wrong. Displacement measures volume, not density. Knowing the volume of the crown would not have helped determine its density, and whether or not silver was used in place of gold. Monolith2 (talk) 07:07, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
