Implication being that this is how it was used\nby Greek speakers in early times.\n\nAs astrological term (essentially \"starting place of your horoscope,\nthe star of your birth\"). Right, this is how the word has been used by\nnon-classicist English speakers--astrology buffs. Given in the OED.\n\nOf course, English wasn't spoken when Greek mythology was in\nformation, but both meanings are correct.  It all depends upon the\ngiven application.\n\n(I look forward to seeing what anybody can do with the OED entry for\n\"Severian.\")\n\n=mantis="
