[edit] Bellerophon and Uhhaziti
- It is possible that Bellerophon (or else Bellerophontes) was the same person with Uhhaziti, king of Arzawa.
- It is possible that "Arzawa" was the "Argive land", ancient colony of Argos (or else Achaeans, Myceneans), in Asia Minor (Arzawa < Arga-wa ).
Note: The word "-wa" means "land" in Hittite language.

[edit] Cultural Reference
The saga of Belleraphon is a key part of John Barth's National Book Award winning story Chimera.
[edit] Bellerophonetic Letters
I nearly created a new article concerning Bellerophonetic (sometimes Bellerophonic) Letters until I saw the reference footnote. Does anyone think it deserves it's own page? The reference is excellent though it doesn't actually give a definition that the letter contains prejudicial information regarding the bearer. Also the article to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern doesn't use the term either. Sorry for being a pain but I thought it would be good to have a page that could be connected to terms in letters etc.--FruitMonkey 09:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Would it really overwhelm this article? Better check the best usage of the term: Bellerophonetic doesn't sound the ring of pure gold.--Wetman 11:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology
Out of curiosity, why would the name of a mythological hero whose story was around centuries before the Greeks made contact with the Romans contain a latin cognate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.107.81.13 (talk) 22:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Because both Latin and Greek are Indo-European languages. In fact, the branch of the Indo-European language family leading to Greek is more similar to the branch leading to Latin (and thus French, Spanish, etc) than to any other major group of I-E languages. Remember, "cognate" does not mean "borrowed from" it means "derived from the same source as". 199.90.28.195 (talk) 16:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
