    Can anyone think of an Ancient Greek figure that has the letters "b" and "f" in it?

    Question #114154. Asked by metsfan1001. (Apr 17 10 8:21 AM)


    omhalck

    		Ancient Greek didn't have the letter "f", the closest is "ph" which was actually pronounced as an aspirated "p", but which later became "f".

    If "ph" is acceptable, and a mythological figure is OK, then there's Bellerophon, for instance.

    		Additionally, if the constraints allow for what omhalck said, you could go with Phobos.
