-'''Antares''' is a [[nonoctave]] [[tritave]]-repeating [[temperament]] tempering out the comma [[21875/19683]], the amount by which 6 [[9/5]] fall short of [[7/5]] or equivalently the amount by which 6 [[5/3]] exceed [[15/7]]. It is basically the [[Arcturus]] equivalent of [[mavila]], and is even more inaccurate than mavila. It falls into [[exotemperament]] range with the "comma" it tempers out being a small major second. 9/5 is extremely sharp and becomes a neutral seventh, and 7/5 is mapped to a supermajor third!
+'''Antares''' is the [[rank]]-2 [[regular temperament]] on the 3.5.7 [[subgroup]] that [[tempers out]] [[21875/19683]], the amount by which, assuming [[tritave]] [[equivalence]], 6 [[9/5]] fall short of [[7/5]] or equivalently the amount by which 6 [[5/3]] exceed [[15/7]]. It is basically the [[Arcturus]] equivalent of [[mavila]], and is even more inaccurate than mavila. It falls into [[exotemperament]] range with the "comma" it tempers out being a small major second (~182.8{{cent}}). 9/5 is extremely sharp and becomes a [[neutral]] seventh, and 7/5 is mapped to a [[supermajor]] third!
+== Etymology ==
+This temperament is named after the star {{w|Antares}}, following a series of [[nonoctave]] temperaments that are named after stars.
