I think EB spelled Pyrrhus' name wrong

[QwertyMIDX]

The h comes from the transliteration into english, it's just showing the aspiration of the rho, did you not read Teleklos's posts?

[Byzantine Prince]

Also a lot of ancient dialects used the h instead of the little brackety thing on the top because it was easier for plain people to read properly. It was in the hellenistic age that the little brackety things became the standard and the h was rid of.

I am personally more offended by the "u" instead of an "o".

[QwertyMIDX]

We spelled it with an o, in the game it's "Pyrrhos."

[Marinakis]

ok, so why not spell Alexandros as alexandrhos then, by that logic

[QwertyMIDX]

Not every rho is as heavily aspirated, but judging from transliterations into other languages (especially latin) of the name Πυρρος the rho was rather heavily aspirated.

[Marinakis]

how do we know this, is there a way to know this from the lettering in greek

I just find it odd, never have i seen a greek name translated with an rhos, its always ros

πυρ - Fire
ρος - common greek ending

[QwertyMIDX]

You've never seen the word "rho"?

The rho is only aspirated when found in the beggining of the word.

The rho is only aspirated when found in the beggining of the word.

Or when there is a double rho, but Teleklos already said that.
