Hottip cleanup


John Tzetzes[[hottip:* :Ἰωάννης Τζέτζης natively]] (1109? - 1180?) was a Byzantine grammarian and scholar who lived in Constantinople. A vain man, he claimed Georgian royal ancestry on his mother's side, and struck out any any other grammarian in the intelligentsia who dared commit a wrong against him - imagined or real. His most important work, the ''Chiliades''[[hottip:* :''Thousands'']]is a collection of miscellaneous bits of others' work, valued by modern historians for filling gaps elsewhere in the ancient corpus. Its chief purpose at the time seems to have been showing that he could quote hundreds of ancients, and it seems to have survived more by a fluke of chance than genuine usefulness at its time. He also wrote a sequel to the ''Iliad'', so unimportant as to be virtually unknown. It is called ''Allegories of the Iliad''. Go ahead, Google that. You're not going to find any articles on Tzetzes' work, because Tzetzes was a waste of breath.

Oh, and about the name - some time ago the interface to a database that I was supposed to maintain kept displaying the name of the fly with this archaic spelling. I spent days trying to figure out why the hell it did that and days trying to fix the bug ([[StatlerAndWaldorf do ho ho]]), and I got so obsessed that my ex-boyfriend gave me "tzetze" as a nickname. It sorta stuck, and it's unique enough, so I keep it. [[color:white:(My real name is "Alex [[hottip:235:Degrees But You Know What Else Is Close Enough? Southwest By]]West", because my parents are strange folk. I'm not really a fan of it)]]
