Anax (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Anax (Ancient Greek: Ἄναξ; from earlier ϝάναξ, wánax) was a king of Anactoria (Miletus). He was the son of Gaea (Earth) and father of Asterius.[1] Anax' name means "tribal chief, lord, (military) leader".[2]

Mythology

According to the Milesians in Asia Minor, their land was called Anactoria for two generations, during the reigns of the eponymous founder Anax and his son Asterius who succeeded him in the throne. But later on, Miletus who was fleeing from King Minos, with a Cretan army in Anactoria, occupied the country and called it after himself.[3]

gollark: You could do it both ways I guess, perhaps with a switch.
gollark: If you tracked clicks on each internal link you could estimate connection importance that way. Or manually specify importance levels. Or have something to emphasise links between big clusters.
gollark: > it seems like you're talking more about an API?Yes, I think the ability to do that might be more useful to (some) external services than having UI in Athens itself.> Dokuwiki does seem interesting thoughIt's a pretty good selfhosted wiki engine. It doesn't have knowledge-graph-y features because it was mostly made before that became a topic of interest, but does have... search, links, somewhat okay formatting, and many plugins. I currently run an instance because it seemed the best available stable thing when I was setting up things and it is quite hard to migrate now.
