The recent posting about obscure titles reminded me of something which
has been bothering me for some time.  The title of the episode about the
Greek god Apollo is "Who Mourns for Adonais".  The relationship that
this has to the story is that Adonais seems to be a misspelling of
Adonis, the name of A DIFFERENT Greek god.  Or it could be the English
plural of the Hebrew name for God (it makes little sense to pluralize
this, though, given the commandment that says that there is only one
God).  Anyone else have any ideas?
