Herodotus machine

I am unaware of any RS that has ever called this an Herodotus machine. It has been referred to as Herodotus' machine, that is, the machine described by Herodotus. This is more than a name problem--it's our using an invented specific name for something that has only a generic name.

The article is furthermore POV, advocating for this theory, tho the one reliable source given, ref 4, does not give it this specific name, and thinks it implausible. (The BM source is a very elementary generic timeline, that does not describe this or any machine) DGG ( talk ) 12:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
