[edit]

I was under the impression that the Mithridates of poison fame was Mithridates VI of Pontus. See http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa053000a.htm -- Error

It would appear you are correct. The Mithridates of Pontus was also the fellow who allegedly spoke more than 25 languages, and who not only could address each soldier in his army by name, but also in his own language. -- IHCOYC 14:04, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)

"In an inscription from Delos he is called "the great King of Kings Arsakes."" I moved this here because it must refer to one of the Parthians named Arsaces, no? I don't have access to it, but I think the reference from Encyclopaedia Brittanica is to volume I in the series Corpus inscriptionum Graecarum, titled Inscriptiones Graecae, Inscriptiones Megaridis, Boeotiae, et Oropiae edited by W. Dittenberger, 1892, p. or no. 430. Not on my shelves... Wetman 22:47, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

@HistoryofIran: Source is not listed in the Bibliography section. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:55, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: Ah shiet. The question is now whether I put the name of the author or the date wrong, since I can't find the source as of now. I'll have to investigate later. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:58, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Transfer offer

[edit]

Hello, I suggest that the name of this page be transferred to Mithridates the Great. Because this name is common and is also known by the same name in Iran, please comment. Parsbod (talk) 18:23, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

That's nonsense, information like this always need source LexaneAlex (talk) 20:43, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again, read the article, it's sourced down below. Again, ledes are not supposed to be sourced if the body of the article covers the same info with a source. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
