No. V-N consistently writes "myth" in the article, not "Platonic myth" (or, in the French, "mythe" vs. "mythe platonicien"). Your argument is that the phrase should always appear as "Platonic myth", "artificial myth" vel sim. V-N does not support your suggestion.

                Yes, this is my argument and Vidal-Naquet supports it, why shouldn't he, I cannot see it? --Athenaios 16:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

                    Because his text never contains the phrase "Platonic myth", that's why. He simply writes "myth". --Akhilleus (talk) 17:58, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

                        Besides the title, and besides other phrases, that show, in which sense V-N talks of a "myth", but that could be too complicated for you to understand ... :-))) - Let me say another thing frankly: In a certain sense you are right. V-N uses words not very precisly. I don't like his works very much, also because of this. --Athenaios 12:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
