Talk:Demeter

Etymology
Chadwick believes that the name "demeter" does not have any resemblance with the name "mother", However he accepts that the element "da" means earth. ( Compare E-ne-si-da-o-ne: Earth shaker, a translation given by Ventris and Chadwick.). This root appears also in the nanes "dapurito" (labyrinth) and Phadamanthys. Therefore it is more possible that the word Demeter is related with the Cretan word for barley, or that it is Pre-Greek.Jestmoon(talk) 21:32, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hey, I’m really into Greek gods but it would be cool if you put on here who the god/goddess was last dating or who they are married to 2A02:C7F:5633:9A00:B53F:C5CA:BFA5:2833 (talk) 07:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Missing reference, Dalby
Best not to remove partial references without checking thoroughly. The partial ref citing Dalby is almost certainly (US ISBN 0-89236-742-3)

The alternative (his only other work published in 2005) is Venus, a biography but I've no access to either work

I can't cope with these formats and templates, and don't wish to try. So could whoever well-meaningly removed the partial Dalby ref please oblige with a restoration? Or tag it for mending? Details as above. PS: I've already restored the inline short ref-link. Haploidavey (talk) 17:35, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

"In Crete?"
Minor criticism, but it seems like neither the section "In Crete" nor "Greek mainland" really discusses only Crete/Greek Mainland. Both sections are about findings in Crete, Pylos and Mykenai. 2003:CD:6F06:ED00:29B5:969:DC46:8155 (talk) 12:24, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
