But wait a sec—since I’m an authentic Greek mythagogue, I have to call him "Phyntias." "Pythias" was called "Phyntias," originally. A medieval scribe made a mistake transcribing the story in the fourteenth century, and he’s been "Pythias" ever since. There’s even a high-minded twentieth-century club called "The Pythian Society," that’s named after a misprint! What a joke on them, huh? Goes to show what can happen if a storyteller gets careless!
