Unclear phrasing

@Malcolm77: The following phrasing was added in 4/2017:

Vase inscriptions have the two groups of Olyseus (Ὀλυσεύς), Olysseus (Ὀλυσσεύς) or Ōlysseus (Ὠλυσσεύς), and Olyteus (Ὀλυτεύς) or Olytteus (Ὀλυττεύς). Probably from an early source from Magna Graecia dates the form Oulixēs (Οὐλίξης), while a later grammarian has Oulixeus (Οὐλιξεύς).[1]

citing LSJ as a source. I can see that this relates to the forms given in LSJ, but I can't make sense of the English here. Can someone clean it up? What are the "two groups"? What does "probably... dates the form" mean? --Macrakis (talk) 17:48, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

-== text to picture with Polyphemus ==
-"the cyclop Polyphemus"
-When a Greek word has an s at the end it is generally not a plural (see kudos).  It should be cyclops, not cyclop.[[User:Ealtram|Ealtram]] ([[User talk:Ealtram|talk]]) 16:27, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
