[edit]The intro currently starts "Keqrops (Greek: Κέκρωψ, also incorrectly entitled by the composer Κεqροψ [...]" But if he composed, and presumably named, the piece, how could he have 'entitled it incorrectly'? Incorrectly according to which standard? --FilipeS (talk) 13:59, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- The letter "q" doesn't exist in the Greek alphabet. That sort of phrasing is a bit strange, though; I agree with you on that. Composers sometimes use grammatically or orthographically incorrect titles (see Trifonov's first movement of Rachmaniana and Valero Castells's Reencontres), so I first went with that, but if you have a better way to put it, please do change it.
