The reference to Pluto was recently modified towards Hades, under the assumption that Hades is the classical Greek name, and Pluto is the Roman name. This is wrong. Pluto and Hades are both Greek names. Just read the Pluto wikipedia article. The Greek article I inserted refers to Pluto rather than Hades, but that does not mean it is correct. I'd appreciate guidance to figure out which of the two Greek names is correct in the context of a Macedonian tomb/cenotaph. Thanks! Vincent Lextrait ( talk) 11:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. The preference of Pluto over Hades can be explained because Hades is also used for the underworld itself, as a location. Nevertheless, as the source (the Ministry of Culture) says Pluto, then Pluto (mythology) it is... -- FocalPoint ( talk) 15:08, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Although I believe Pluto to be incorrect and Plouton the more correct version with regards to Greek Mythology(btw Hades is being referred to as a god as well, not just the place), unfortunately I have to agree to follow the standards of the Greek Ministry of Culture translation which mentions Pluto. As a last effort I am asking to at least consider having Plouton instead of Pluto(it will redirect to Pluto) Gts-tg ( talk) 18:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
The head of one of the two sphinxes was found in the 4th chamber. This is the reference from the greek ministry of culture. http://www.yppo.gr/2/g22.jsp?obj_id=58894
Maybe on of the editors could add this info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:648:2800:85:183C:467A:249D:352F ( talk) 10:59, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

I see that the issue has been resolved, but the image is a hypothetical sketch. I believe that since there is a lot of concrete information about the issue, we should leave out such guesswork. I am, therefore, deleting the picture from the gallery. -- FocalPoint ( talk) 15:00, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
What do you guys think about the more "Anglicised" term Casta Tomb that is used by the international media (alongside with the term Kasta Tomb)?
In Greece, most places of prominent international value, which start with the letter 'K', are often named with the anglicized 'C' rather than the traditional Greek 'K'.
For example, several places in Greece have anglicised names such as Costa Navarino instead of Kosta Navarino, Crete instead of Krete, and even people names such as Constantine instead of Konstantine, and even last names such as Callas instead of Kallas, etc. Shouldn't the Amphipolis tomb's area fall under the same category? I think Casta Tomb for the article's name could be more "appropriate" for use, although Kasta Tomb is absolutely valid and very original. - AuditoreEzio ( talk) 04:29, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I am very new at this - but for those of you that might have missed it - the Amphipolis tomb aka Kasta tomb was built by Deinocrates, other arcitects of that period were Dimocrates, Cheirocrates and Stasicrates - now the measurements of this tomb is very similar to that of the footprint at Stonehenge? As well as many others... if there is a code to be broken or looked into further it is that of 1580, 1.580, 15.80, 158.0 - it keeps coming up in different areas I research... as well as 5, 7, 12, 13...
Further more - the half man half animal depictions thru-out Egyptian and Greek art is leading me to the connection between humans and astrology ie; signs of birth. sometimes the answer is very simple... I consider myself as such! Simple common sense without outside input is objectivity.
