pronouncing the Greek
I think if you give the Greek, you need to add its pronunciation (or at least a transliteration with a diacritical over the final -e representing the eta), within the parentheses, because most people can't read Greek letters. Cynwolfe (talk) 00:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
The transliterations (Hekátê, Hekátē) were there before, but Akhilleus removed them.
The Greek name is a wikilink to wikt:Ἑκάτη, which gives:
