    And don't forget:

    Herodatus - 168 hits
    Heradotus - 14 hits
    Heradatus - 7 hits
    Herotadus - 1 hit

    Which I guess only further demonstrates how worthless English
    orthography is after the Great Vowel Shift, unstressed vowel
    reductions, and intervocalic neutralization of t/d. Any well
    you spell it -- left to right or top to bottom or both ways
    from Sunday, English spelling doesn't make any sense.

    It ought to be spelled: HuhRODuhduhs
