Elpeus is in fact Enipeus Filippos2 (talk) 03:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to my three sources. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 03:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

River = el:Ενιπέας God = el:Ενιπεύς Filippos2 (talk) 03:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We are on English Wikipedia. It is the English translation that matters, I think. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 04:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The word Elpeus cames from different root than the word enipeus. It means "hope" not "over the horse". There is no river by that name in Greece. Filippos2 (talk) 04:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And is the truth that matters Filippos2 (talk) 04:11, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my sources all say "Elpeus". Until you can provide reliable sources showing that it is wrong, it should stay at this name. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 04:56, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
