Talk:Aegea

Comments
Aegeae was a city in Cilicia that minted coins. But is there a genuine Greek source for this "mythic" persona? Is this just a novel back-formation from Aegean Sea, which was actually named for Aegeus? The name is in the "baby-namer", but was it entirely invented by Dr Anthony E. Smith at the Encyclopedia Mythica website? --Wetman 21:40, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No classical literary sources have been given for the following statements:


 * "Aegea, a Greek goddess also known as Aga, was sister to Circe and Pasiphae and daughter to Helios and Perse. When Zeus rose up against Cronus and the other Titans, Gaia hid Aegea in a cave to hide her beauty.  Amaterasu and P&auml;iv&auml;t&auml;r have similar stories in Japanese and Finnish mythology, respectively."

So after six months I am removing it here. --Wetman 04:23, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
