Talk:Corydon, Indiana

message: I've added some info into the history section. I've added most of the information on Harrison. I also redid the part on the civil war. I used Shelby Foots book The Civil War: A Narrative, volume 3 for a reference. Not sure how to reference that on here. 
I also added some more info on the historical sites, the signing of the constitution and the old capital building. I am trying to think of other interesting and useful things to add (I live in corydon)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cool10191 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You might want to go with the ones that seem correct and footnote them with a statement that "according to other sources (list sources), the date is such and such".  Just a suggestion.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The infobox claims that the motto of Corydon is:
:A, Corydon, Corydon, quae te dementia cepit!
This means, "Corydon, Corydon, how madness has taken you!"  It is from Virgil's Second Eclogue, which begins:
:Formosum pastor Corydon ardebat Alexin
:Delicias domini....
"The shepherd Corydon burned with passion for the handsome boy Alexis, the master's pet."  It is a poem celebrating Greek-style homosexuality.  The writers of the hymn that the referenced source gives at the origin of the name probably lifted it from a collectio of vaguely Greek styled names; I suspect that this particular bit of Virgil was not widely read at the time.  I rather doubt this is the motto of Corydon, Indiana, but next time I am by the courthouse there I will ask.  For the moment I marked it as needing a citation.  If this is the deliberate insertion of falsehood as a joke, it's a cut above the usual vandalism. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 04:58, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
