Apollodorus
The Literary Sources section says the Pseudo-Apollodorus "attempts to reconcile the contradictory tales of the poets". The introduction to the Oxford World's Classics version (written by the same person this sentence uses as a citation) says that one of the good things about this work is that it doesn't try to reconcile contradictions, and the author doesn't try to impose his own view on things. "And the author was content to summarize them as he found them without imposing his own interpretations, or attempting to reconcile conflicting traditions". Do people think this could do with changing?

"Diachronically heavy"
I don't understand what the sentence "Therefore, western literature is diachronically heavy with allusions to the heritage of the ancient Greek myths" means. I would guess it either means A) throughout the history of western literature, there are allsuions to Greek myths or B) an allusion to Greek myth has 2500 years behind it, so when I speak of "Odysseus", the reference is not only to Homer, but also to Euripides, Ovid, Dante, and Joyce. Either way, I think the sentence needs to be rewritten to be clearer, and I hope the editor who wrote the sentence can clarify what s/he meant. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It is the A.--Yannismarou 09:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. In my judgment the sentence is unnecessary, since the rest of the paragraph already tells us that Greek mythology has had influence on culture, art, and literature throughout western history, so I have removed it. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)


 * OK! But I think a citation would still be useful there.--Yannismarou 10:18, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Albanian nonsense
I agree with the removal of the section some anon user keeps putting in claiming that Greek mythology comes from Albanian beliefs. That's just sheer nonsense that no reputable academic has ever said. The idea that the Albanians became Christian and then cast off their old beliefs to the Greeks is especially ridiculous, as Greek beliefs were around longer than Christianity. Looks like some nationalistic wishful thinking by some woefully undereducated individual who doesn't understand that Wikipedia articles are for facts as the world sees them and not brand new fanciful theories...

 * This article is quite long, and shouldn't be bloated by lists of names. There are some navigation templates that might be worth including in the article: Greek myth (Olympian), Greek myth, and so on. --Akhilleus (talk) 17:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Mythology is not unimportant. It provides a lot of explanation to many unexplained things going on with the universe. Especially those who don't believe in God as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kitt-kat1218 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

request for redirect(if it exist) "xenomandias"
Theres some greek story or myth,or something like that.It's about a guy that he is called xenomandias (more or less).The story is something like this.In the desert ,in the middle of nothing,a traveler notices between the rocks,one with inscription for Xenomandias(more or less), about how great this great king?/Emperor? is,and that everybody will remember him for ever and ever.I really liked the irony of the story,but the spelling of the name is incorrect,and i can't find it.--88.82.47.59 (talk) 17:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

--DragonForce99 (talk) 04:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hades
I am wondering why Hades is not included in the list of Deities. As described on the Wikipedia page regarding Hades, he, along with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon, defeated the Titans and took control of the Underworld, Sky and Sea. Is there a special reason why the God of the Underworld, one of the three basic deities of Greek mythology is not included on the list at the base of the page and in the side window list?

That is a good question.Why isn't one of the main deities not listed in an article about Greek Gods. That is a bit backwards. Yoh Hades isnt listed as one of the main deities beacuse zeus forced him to be god of the underworld and he's not considered an olympian god, he doesnt even have a throne at olympus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.11.23 (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. Not sure why this has been overlooked but as neither Hades nor Hestia are usually included among lists of Twelve Olympians, have moved them to "Other" in the footlist. I'll see if I can find an appropriate place for Hades in the sidelist. Haploidavey (talk) 22:38, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * But then, it seems Hestia and Hades are sometimes described as Olympians; so I've played safe but messy. See changed footer-nav-box and change again, if required. Nav-boxes, tuh. Haploidavey (talk) 23:24, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

But, since it is on here... Hades is the god of the underworld and wealth. He is mean and he id married to persephone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yougotmyheartlikeadog (talk • contribs) 00:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

The Iliad and The Odyssey are the oldest known literary sources within Greek mythology. Currently, due to the phrasing, it may mislead readers to believe these are the two oldest known literary sources EVER. (This would be untrue.) I don't know how to edit this page though, so could someone change it?129.173.209.5 (talk) 18:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC) Helios was a Greek but, Apollo was Greek and Roman because of the controversy that followers had about who came first. So it would make sense to talk about these two deities separatley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kitt-kat1218 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Also remember that Zeus slept and bore children with many of females whether they were mortal or immortal so it's not a question of how he came up it's who came first and in what time fashion and where. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kitt-kat1218 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Question about License
I have this question. Is Encyclopaedia Britanica (2002) under PD or GFDL? I have Encyclopaedia Britanica (2005) CD set, and the many sentences in this article seem to be same as the entries of this Encyclopaedia (2005). Are there no copyrights violations in this article? Though this is very simple question, but I think it's very important. Because copying so much sentences might not comform to the terms and conditions of citation. If this is legal, please simply say so. --Stella maris (talk) 07:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation help for Sources of Greek mythology
I'm working on the spoken version of this article and would like help on the a few of the pronunciations in this section. In particular:


 * Liberalis - Short or long "A"?
 * Smyrnaeus - Stressed as "smyr-nae-us" or "smyr-nae-us"? And is "smyr" rendered as in English "smear" or "smirk"?
 * Lollianus - Short or long "A"?

Thanks for your help! -- Tonyle (talk | contribs) 20:04, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The pronunciation depends on which variety of English you're speaking. I think a standard pronunciation in US English would be:


 * Liberalis -- short a
 * Smyrnaeus -- stress nae, "smyr" as in "smirk"
 * Lollianus -- short a


 * --Akhilleus (talk) 01:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! I'm indeed using the US English pronunciation. This would be so much easier if we hadn't bastardized these names during the Great Vowel Shift. ;-)

Pronunciation help for Heroic age
I'm working now on recording the "Heroic age" section and need more pronunciation help. Here is what I haven't been able to find online. As before, I'm using US English pronunciation.


 * Lamos – Short or long "A"? My guess is long "A". (Web search is complicated by this word also being slang for "lame people".)
 * Bianor – "BYE-uh-nor" according to the Bianor corporation
 * Iokaste – Found here as "yo-KAHS-tee", "yo-KASS-tuh" or "ee-oo-KAHS-tee"
 * Dictys Cretensis – Found here as "DIK-tus"
 * Dares Phrygius – Found here as "Dairy's Fridgey Us"

A couple of others I have from previous sections:


 * Coeus – Found here as "KOY-us"
 * Hecatonchires – Found here with stress on "ton"

God → deity
Among the many recent edits by 83d40m is a wide-scale replacement of the word "god" with "deity". What is the rationale behind such a sweeping change? Is there a policy or rule that reserves "god" (even when uncapitalized) for monotheistic deities? &mdash;Tonyle (talk • contribs) 18:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This is a bad idea. The Greek gods should be referred to as such. --Akhilleus (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Probably because Deity encompasses gods, goddesses, and spirits alike. Either that or he's an interfereing Christian. --&#91;&#91;User:Tutthoth-Ankhre&#124;Tutthoth-Ankhre~ The Pharaoh of the Universe&#93;&#93; (talk) 01:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Age of Deities
I noticed that under the "Cosmonogy and Cosmology" subsection, one of the links given (Family tree of the Greek deities) leads to a superfluous stub article. It is superfluous because there actually is a fully-operational Family tree of the Greek gods article. I would suggest replacing the "deities" link with the "gods" link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Historynerd87 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

What was the name of them?
What did the greeks call their gods? I mean, what was the greek word we translate as meaning "God"? --&#91;&#91;User:Tutthoth-Ankhre&#124;Tutthoth-Ankhre~ The Pharaoh of the Universe&#93;&#93; (talk) 01:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

theos, plural theoi. There are some other words that could be used to refer to divine powers, but theos is the one we translate as "god". --Akhilleus (talk) 01:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Note how "theos" or "θεός" has the same root as the Latin: "Deus" (plural Dei). Sillyfolkboy (talk) 02:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, even though they sound similar, they are not etymologically related. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In the words of Victor Meldrew I don't believe it! And really, I don't. So the truth is: most academics believe they are unrelated terms. One goon on Wikipedia believes that these academics have seen a fancy acrostic of "deus" as the first written occurrence, thus perceived it as the root of the word. Meanwhile theos is more similar to humus and thermos? Absolute codswallop I say! By that measure I could equally forward the idea that theos is similar to odos, meaning "the path to enlightenment". I repeat, codswallop. Anyway, they'll all be proved wrong in the end. Linguists always are! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 02:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Picture caption query
I've corrected an error in the article's 5th picture-caption - Charun is shown, not Charon - but could someone familiar with Greek and Etruscan orthography (thus not me) please check the identity of the standing figure with sword in hand?

modern adherents
Does greco-roman religion have any modern adherents, and if not then historically when (and under what circumstances) did they disappear? Cesiumfrog (talk) 04:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)


 * to your first question, yes there are those who today call themselves followers of the olympian or twelve-god religion, although they are of dubious lineage. The true pagans died out in waves beginning in the first century as Christianity became popular. The move away from the old religions has a few milestones - the closing of the philosophical schools of Athens, the banning of the games at Olympia, etc., the destruction of pagan temples - all these span the 4-5-6th centuries. In some parts of southern Greece there were still pagans up to the 8th or even 9th centuries. There is then a hiatus of more than 1,000 years and the revivalists have cropped up, numbering no more than a few thousand. They are trying to recreate the old religion based on texts and archaeological finds. It's all a bit of a sham. --5telios (talk) 09:27, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that info. Could you suggest any further references? Also, do you know why people abandoned it exactly? (It seems difficult to conceive of a major religion entirely disappearing today.. was Christianity just that much more convincing?) Cesiumfrog (talk) 14:22, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Why is there nothing about how and when Greek mythology died out in this article? 194.176.105.39 (talk) 10:37, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Greek mythology hasn't died out; see the Percy Jackson franchise, for instance, and the article on classical mythology. The comments in this section seem to be confusing mythology with religion, for which see Religion in ancient Greece. Cynwolfe (talk) 12:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Page moves
Today and over the past few days there have been two move attempts by the same editor moving the page to two different titles both of which I reverted. The rationale for both moves was "It sounds better". This is obviously not a valid move rationale. The ghits meanwhile for both reverted titles were abysmally low compared to the current title which is the most common English name. This is also a featured article. No page moves should happen without broad consensus. Conclusion: There is no valid reason currently at all to move the page to any other title. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 00:10, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

consistency between Cronus/Kronos

Citing the Encyclopedia Britannica as a source
really is a bad idea for any Wikipedia article, especially for one that is considered a Featured Article. While signed encyclopedia articles are a different animal -- we are using the author as the authority, not the encyclopedia itself -- encyclopedias are tertiary sources, just like Wikipedia, & established best practices for Wikipedia is to use only primary or secondary sources. And I believe they don't meet the criteria for reliable sources. Then there is the matter that the Encyclopedia Britannica is a competitor to Wikipedia, & by citing its material as is done in this article -- to anonymous articles in a recent edition -- we are saying that the EB is more reliable than Wikipedia. Which I doubt any of us would want to do. If anyone cares about this article enough to fix this problem, then you should do so. I'll wait a while -- probably a month -- to see if anyone does fix this before considering to list this article at Featured article review for possible demotion. -- llywrch (talk) 18:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree emphatically with improving sources in mythology articles (these are often outdated or unscholarly), but you might want to review WP:TERTIARY. My guess would be that this article achieved FA status before standards were as high as they are now. It would certainly make sense to review that status. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:19, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This article definitely needs a featured status review. I'm seeing red flags all over the place. I concur that Encyclopedia Britannica is generally a (very) poor source for topics of mythology. &#58;bloodofox: (talk) 07:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

FA review needed
This Featured article was last reviewed in 2006 and is in need of work to retain its status. Below are samples only ... These tools may be helpful: These are issues found on only a very cursory link, indicating that some attention to WP:WIAFA standards is needed. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  19:27, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * There is a jam up of images in the article, with some MOS:SANDWICH and clutter of navigational templates and images concentrated at the top.
 * There is incorrect use of MOS:ITALICS, sample, "Survey of mythic history" section.
 * Dates and WP:DASHes have not been maintained consistent (I corrected with scripts-- please install those and use them).
 * An inconsistent citation style has been introduced; some page ranges are given in short notes, and some are listed as rps. (I recommend removing the rps to the original short note format.)
 * Listiness that should be prosified (sample at "Trojan War and aftermath" section).
 * Further reading needs pruning; as FAs are supposed to be comprehensive, Further reading entries should be justified (what do they provide that a comprehensive article would not?) If they are significant, why aren't they used as sources?
 * MOS:CAPTIONS review needed for punctuation and other.
 * There is an extreme amount of WP:OVERLINKing.
 * Uncited text, eg, Influences from other cultures always afforded new themes. and entire paragraphs in "Greek pantheon" section, for example.
 * Uncited text looking like original research, eg, Some of the more famous heroes noted for their inclusion in the Trojan War were:
 * Editorializing, or supported by source? More sportingly,  ...
 * Dashes

 * Why do you think the article is lacking in images? What do you think needs to be illustrated?  The article already has MOS:SANDWICHing, and if you don’t know where to find images, it might not be wise to start adding images to a Featured article, since WP:WIAFA requires policy-compliant licensing on images on FAs.

 * Okay, turns out it might not be reliable enough to save this article, since the bottom says its an app for IOS and Android. Guess I have to find another, more reliable source. Blue Jay (talk) 01:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Found another source (https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/greek-mythology). This time, its from the website HISTORY. Is this good? Blue Jay (talk) 01:31, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * history.com is not a reliable source for Wikipedia. You need academic books (or articles) for Greek Mythology, typically found in a university library. T8612  (talk) 13:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Mhmm, I'll try my best. Blue Jay (talk) 09:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Suggestions for improvements
I believe that some of the sources need checked again because I came across "not accessible" or "not available" while I was checking the sources. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by JCSmith123 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
