Oh dearie me.

Not only do they confuse Oceanus and Tethys with mortal men, they misgendered Tethys. Hope the author is not planning a nautical excursion any time soon.

"Deleterious the Greek's visit to Britain" is presumably somewhat analagous to "beware Greeks bearing gifts"?

Somewhat disappointed that auto-correct, or perhaps predictive text, couldn't find a closer match for Demetrios. On the other hand, with a less favourable biographer, the famous Besieger might now be known as the Deleterious instead.  ;)

Placing the Yorkshire Museum in central England is equally hazardous.
