'Tarzan of the Apes' is a novel. But I don't understand the structure of the title.
I know structures like 'one of the students', 'king of the country', 'the leader of the team'; however, 'Tarzan' is a name. What does it mean by 'name of something'?
I assume that the title means: there are some apes. Tarzan is one of them. So we call he 'Tarzan of the Apes'.
Is that right?
