Talk:Asterion (king of Crete)

Fix and add
1. The introduction talks about two kings of Crete and Asterius II was definitely not a king so the introduction needs to be fixed.

2. Is the "fifth century" BC or AD? I am pretty sure it's BC and that information should be added.

 * 1. Given that the article title is "Asterion (king of Crete)" and there is already an entire page of mythological people named Asterius/Asterion, I'm not even sure Asterion II needs to be part of this article; it sounds like the information in that section could be entirely moved into the Minotaur article.

1. The article begins with "In Greek mythology" and the second Asterion was not a king but the Minotaur. The second entry should not be there at all. It's unrelated to Asterion, the king of Crete.

I have removed the Asterion II section and inserted it into Minotaur with some rewriting and clearer citations. The Minotaur was never a king of Crete. Karl Kerenyi's theories fit better in the "Interpretations" section of the Minotaur page. Sgallison (talk) 19:21, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
