I might have to refer to Eratosthenes in a couple of weeks time, and I’m wondering how best to recall the name and how best to pronounce it without tying a knot in my tongue or revealing an almost total ignorance of the Classics. Would I be far wrong if I simply said Eratos The Knees very quickly? Dave
