Hetairoi in Greek

[abou]

How was Hetairoi spelled in Greek characters? Is the 'e' an e psilon or eta?

έταιροι vs ήταιροι

[O'ETAIPOS]

first version - epsilon

Another question for the EB team in relation to Hetairoi: is it okay to use the Hetairoi models as images for the Wikipedia entry? It is a safe assumption that if a model is in EB it is probably as close as you can get to what actually had appeared, right?

Oh, almost forgot! Thanks, O'ETAIPOS.

Considering some Wikipedia entries like the schiltron, cataphracts, and shield wall use Barbarian Invasion models, I suppose the use of EB's models would be far superior to the use of those pastel coloured models. I suppose it is still best to ask an EB team member before you proceed.

I dunno really. I don't think we would have any objections, but it seems a little weird. I guess if there are copyright issues with getting other depictions to use, then using a shot out of the mod would be acceptable in lieu of nothing.

I doubt we would actively promote this sort of thing, but if it was used I really don't think we would object either - and if we did we would understand it had been done with good intentions and just ask for it's removal.

The problem is that in Alexander times Hetairoi used spear in one hand grip (EB uses much later 2 hand grip for them). So I would say rather not.
