Surname?
editDo we really have evidence that General Alexios's family name was "City of the General"? That sounds too close to be coincidental. Is it possible that he was renamed when he had already established a reputation AS a general? Jmacwiki (talk) 02:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- "Strategopoulos" means "son of the general", it can easily refer to any one of his ancestors. He is mentioned as "Strategopoulos" in all accounts, and there is nothing to indicate any renaming. Either way, 1) "Strategopoulos", as explained, doesn't imply any martial virtue, and 2) Byzantine generals did not assume honorifics or victory titles like Scipio Africanus, since, by Roman practice since the days of Augustus, all victories etc were made in the name of the Emperor, whom they certainly did not want to offend. It is a funny surname for a general, granted, but merely coincidental. P.S., "City of the General" would be "Strategoupolis". Cheers, Constantine ✍ 13:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
