    a = without
    poly = many
    tons = measure of weight

    therefore, Apolyton = light and fluffy like a pancake

        Listed in the site history, you will find...

        but you may be wondering where DID the name for this new mega-site come from? Apolyton, translated from Greek, means ultimate. We'll let you draw your own conclusions. :-)
        And since Apoltyon was formed by the merger of two civ sites... Ultimate CivII and The First Greek Civ Site...

        You can find the history at...

          Damn, remembered it as mighty, and not as ultimate.

              However apolyton means both ultimate and mighty, IIRC.

                  Never really thought about what Apolyton meant; useful to know.

                    Although I already knew the real answer ( ), I really liked ColdWizard's one.
                    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                      I always thought it was a RL location where Mark lives. Apolytown. That's how it reads to me...

                          Doh! I've wondered on this myself, but never asked or searched!

                          The name is perfect though!

                            Apolyton is named after an ancient Greek village. Anyone who played Civ 3 can tell you that...
