-->--The beginning of {{Homer}}'s ''[[TheIliad Iliad]]'' [[labelnote:ϝ]](with the missing digamma added in)[[/labelnote]]

'''Digamma:''' The ancient Greek letter ϝ, offering a /w/ sound, which fell out of use from the various dialects around 1000 BC. It was rediscovered by the English scholar Richard Bentley, who used it to explain odd aspects of the meter in {{Homer}}. Also stood for the number 6 in the ancient Milesian numeral system (thanks to its handwritten appearance, it was eventually conflated with a ligature of a lunate sigma and tau, the stigma: ϛ).

Oh, you wanted to know about the person? In that case, Digamma is a troper turned contributor. As for random info, ϝ has recently been lurking about the mythology areas of this wiki, particularly Greek and Roman mythology. Additionally, Digamma is [[{{Understatement}} sometimes]] prone to understatement, enjoys the use of [[ThirdPersonPerson third person]], and defies personal pronouns -- the troper will simply refer to ϝself with the Greek letter.

A note on the focus on mythology: as many of ϝ's [[{{Lost}} favorite]] [[HarryPotter series]] [[ChroniclesOfNarnia are]] [[AvatarTheLastAirbender well]] [[ThursdayNext taken]] [[WatershipDown care]] [[{{Inception}} of]] on here, Digamma enjoys focusing on more unknown/forgotten works from Ancient Greece and Rome. Like the six lost epics of TheTrojanCycle, for instance. That way, anyone vaguely curious about the more obscure stuff can read about it here. Ϝ intends to add many other ancient works eventually, including far more of the [[{{Aeschylus}} tra]][[{{Euripides}} ged]][[{{Sophocles}} ians']] existent plays.

While roaming [[TVTropes the wiki]], Digamma has a tendency to offer some WikiMagic to help support pages in need of it. Alternatively, ϝ might just add a work to NeedsWikiMagicLove if ϝ ''really'' knows nothing about it. In the case of a work, after all, ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability.

!!Contributions Digamma has made include:
* The initial entry for {{Ovid}}'s ''[[TheMetamorphoses Metamorphoses]]''.
** Expanded the entry for {{Ovid}} himself.
* The initial entries for {{Euripides}}'s ''{{Alcestis}}'', ''{{Bacchae}}'', and ''{{Hippolytus}}''.
* The initial entry for TheTrojanCycle.
** Also the [[Laconic/TheTrojanCycle Laconic]] entry.
* The initial entry for the ''{{Batrachomyomachia}}''.
!!Edits Digamma has made include:
* Various edits, often in [[TheAeneid sections]] [[TheIliad to]] [[TheOdyssey do]] [[{{Medea}} with]] [[ClassicalMythology myt]][[CelticMythology hol]][[NorseMythology ogy]].
** A number of these edits include correcting misspellings of the works' names. It's ''TheIliad'' with ''one'' 'L,' lads and lasses. Similarly, ''TheOdyssey'' only has one 'D.' Both very common mistakes, which ϝ admits having made ϝself before.
* Other edits, in utterly random sections, really -- usually a matter of indexing pages, italicizing work titles, or fixing up grammar and spelling.
* Edited the TimeBomb trope to make it [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Self Demonstrating]].
** Also created the [[Laconic/TimeBomb Laconic Time Bomb]] entry.
* Has lately been helping out with [[PagesNeedingExampleSorting example sorting]], and has fixed up the following pages:
