medea has to say the names Theseus and Aegeus (in Theseus, page 151)

in both cases the pronunciation guide in the back goes with 2 syllables and not three

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Theseus

so the first pronunciation you can hear in this dictionary

I thought I would make sure that is what you want

Yep that is what I want, that first pronunciation in the dictionary lines up with the guide so we're going with that

It was good of you to check, some of these pronunciations may be more uncommon but maybe more accurate? I'm not sure but at any rate it's not often we have a built-in pronunciation guide for these things, it's what the author had in mind so we may as well stay true to their vision and it should add a nice level of consistency to the plays

ooo, I like how you're organizing the Ready for PL by: portion of the MW. Super easy for us to pop in and scan to see if any of it is ours.

I agree - nicely done.

Thanks, Todd

There's no overlap with your other claims so that's totally fine, I have put you in for them

Long as you think you can handle the difficult task of that one word

(in all seriousness even the most minor one word roles help and are appreciated, Midas has always been one of my favorite Greek stories and one of the first I ever heard so I'm actually really looking forward to this one)

Hi I am happy to PL the files that are ready but don't have a DPL just to keep the project moving. Let me know if you would like me to do this.

Yes that would be appreciated, thank you, prioritize your own DPL files first and if those other ones still don't have a DPL yet you can do those too if you'd still like to. I will probably advertise for our final two DPLs this weekend if we don't get more volunteers by then so hopefully files without DPL shouldn't be something we have to worry about for much longer

May I claim:

Bacchus in Midas and Bacchus
Somnus in Ceyx and Halcyone
Tiresias in Narcissus
Atlas in Perseus and Atlas

I don't think any of these clash with my other commitments.
