Very good points and thank you for the caution! If memory serves there is the added risk of the Victoria translations of things as well.

I would like to get away from the ruining idea but would also like to be true to the Classic culture, so it is good to know I wouldn't be far off. I have a half formed fic idea of Thalia finding an old friend who had to live on the streets to live and her convincing/arguing the girl is not a woman to gain her entry to the Hunters. Need to research it more though before I truly step into it and mess it up. =)
