Question thread #146

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Does anyone here know enough about Greek patronymics and ancient Greek names to help to give a reasonable pseudonym to a character from about 300 BCE? I keep looking up lists of names and I am not sure how to get the result I want. And this after a year of college-level Ancient Greek -- we didn't do much that I remember on the nature of ancient Greek names. Also, the textbook was by Liddell and Scott, and while I don't recall who Scott was, Liddell was the real Alice in Wonderland's father.

Help me find the right name for this character, please?

Politics, per se, isn't the problem. The malicious misuse of politics for personal gain is the problem.
