Naming convention

edit
  • The japanese name of the charater Orpheus from the Greek mythology is オルペウス (Orubeusu = Orpheus), or オルフェウス (Orufeusu = Orpheus). But while the name of the Saint Seiya movie character is indeed オルフェウス (Orpheus), Kurumada named his manga character オルフェ (Orufe = Orphee), which is the French form of the name, Orphée .
    As for when he named the Aquarius Gold Saint Camus after the French writer Albert Camus, Kurumada probably made a reference to Cocteau's movie "Orphée" (1950).
    However I didn't know if I had to put the character "é" in the title of the article : Orphee or Orphée ? Folken de Fanel 10:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
    • I don't think it'd be inaccurate to add the little "é" to the name; especially if Kurumada had intended it to be a reference. Go right ahead. -Tragic Taco

he's name is Orufe, in any case Orphe, butthere is not double letter nor an accent on top of them. I don't know where Kurumada had it like that or if just fans assume it's that way.

I go for Orphe, it's the most accurate one

'Orufe' is simply the rendition in japanese of the french form of "Orpheus", that is, Orphée.Folken de Fanel (talk) 21:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
