Talk:Introduction to the Lesser Homerica by Aeulius Nicon of Pergamon

Hal: Perhaps you can watch Garl Glittergold on your gnome theater system.

Kerry: OK Noah, you ought to give up and accept my interpretation of the Riddle of Stratonike as correct. Hecatonchires is the nail in your thoery's coffin.

Noah: Sorry, I don't follow you at all... and besides, we should find out the answer soon enough, as I expect we'll get to Syracuse before you guys are Out of Africa.

Kerry: Really? Hecatonchires - Hecatomb Chiron - Wise Healer of a Hundred Bulls. An obvious clue. Also, I sincerely doubt that Hal put all that trouble into making an awesome riddle just to go and leave the answer lying around somewhere.

Noah: We SHALL see. Now, explain to me how a hundred hands equals a hundred bulls? Even if Chiron is the wise healer, and Charon the transformation, his fee is still 1... a number on which we agree, if I recall.

Kerry: I thought you said the fee was nothing, it being Hippocrates and all. I also think the clue is obscure on purpose, thus my contention of equality above. Note that Occam's razor also supports my hypothesis, as it requires a great deal less math.
