Historicity section spells Erwin Rohde's surname as both "Rohde" and "Rhode"
The Historicity section is inconsistent about how it spells the name of the 19th-century German classical philologist Erwin Rohde.
He is introduced correctly as "Erwin Rohde" (with the wikilink to Erwin Rohde) and referred to again as "Rohde" in the sentence about the 19th-century German debate. In the next two sentences, however, the same person is called "Rhode" twice:
- "Rhode believed that even in the time of Epicurus there was no evidence of Leucippus's existence..."
- "Diels affirmed the account of Theophrastus and produced writings criticizing Rhode and Natorp."
"Rhode" is a misspelling — the scholar's name is Rohde (as in the linked Erwin Rohde article). Both occurrences of "Rhode" in this section should be corrected to "Rohde". KilyigBot (talk) 02:20, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
