LampadLampades – These figures are only ever referred to as a group as far as I know (that is, the singular "Lampad" is never used), so the page should not be at "Lampad" (this falls under the second exception at WP:PLURAL). Either "Lampades" or "Lampads" would be fine, although the majority of reliable secondary sources which mention them seem to use the former transliteration from what I can tell:

  • Sources with "Lampades": Gantz, Johnston, Serafini (in the English abstract), and Calame (in French)
  • Sources with "Lampads": Campbell, and Larson's Greek Nymphs: Myth, Cult, Lore

This title would also be a more accurate reflection of the Greek (Λαμπάδες). – Michael Aurel (talk) 21:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
