Pulling Apollo Apart.
This paper considers the etymologising of the names of Apollo in Plato, Cratylus and Plutarch, The E at Delphi.

The paper sheds light not just upon ancient etymological practice from Homer onwards but also on certain conceptions of the nature of Apollo. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Mnemosyne is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
