Add your request in the most appropriate place below.

Before adding a request please:

Biography requests are organized by profession and nationality; add your request to both categories if possible. Keep requests in order by the person's last name.

Information to include
  • Name – be certain of the spelling; alphabetize by last name in each section.
  • Date requested – so that older requests can be more easily tracked.
  • Identifying information – For, example, there are lots of James Smiths in the world; so specify which one are you asking about -- the Scottish architect, the American rapper, or who?
  • Notability – if it isn't already obvious from the identifying information, describe precisely what makes them notable. Be concise.
  • Reference – add a link to a reference which identifies the person and/or highlights their notability

Also, when adding a request, please include as much information as possible (such as webpages, articles, or other reference material) so editors can find and distinguish your request from an already-created article.

Pythias the Explorer "One of the most famous citizens of Massalia was a mariner and navigator named Pythias. In the fourth century BCE, he took a small fleet of ships through the Pillars of Hercules and up the Iberian coast. He kept careful notes of his voyage and, upon his return, wrote a book called On the Ocean. Sadly, the original has been lost in time. However, fragments of his work were incorporated in the writings of others. From these bits and pieces, some scholars have deduced that Pythias quite likely explored the shores of the British Isles and may have even reached either Iceland or the coast of Norway. Further to the north, he was turned back by "the congealed sea", suggesting that Pythias was the first Greek to see the frozen arctic ocean". from http://www.ancientworlds.net/aw/Places/District/829687
