Talk:Hebe (mythology)

Comments
Should she be the goddess of instruments and not instraments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.55.3 (talk) 21:27, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Should I move Hebe (mythology) to Hêbê? WhisperToMe 02:22, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, because that spelling isn't used in English. A search on google doesn't turn up a single English page that uses it in reference to the goddess.  Tuf-Kat 02:51, Jan 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Actually, I tend to think the article should be moved to Hebe with a disambig block, since the goddess is probably much more well-known than the plant, at least outside of New Zealand. Tuf-Kat 02:53, Jan 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * The spelling is used in English, in Robert Fitzgerald's transliteration of the Odyssey - See Page 205 - However, "Hebe" without the accents is used more often, so leave it there or move to the main "Hebe" page WhisperToMe 02:53, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * A lot of crazy spellings are used in translations of the Odyssey and Iliad (mine say Achilleus, Menelaos, etc, and then weirder things like Aias for Ajax). Might as well leave this page where it is. Adam Bishop 02:56, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Actually
I lived in greece all my life and you look up the definition Hebe in a dictionary you will find this: The 16 year old (it was the married age)red and blonde hair and percky female minor godess of MALE ERRECTION, I cant believe how you let this things slip away.In greece it was bevieled that the male errection it was a gift from the gods for more ... for the female satifaction and it was always from female origin or behavior, look it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.72.70.219 (talk) 10:33, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand what you are saying. What does "of male erection" mean? Angelorf (talk) 05:17, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Requested move

No consensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hebe (mythology) → Hebe — Tried an uncontroversial move discussed previous on Hebe (mythology) (most common usage of term gets namespace) but between the move tool not wanting to move properly and a typo in a move it's messed up now. DreamGuy (talk) 15:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I don't see any harm in the DAB being placed in the main namespace. Hebe is a major asteroid with considerable traffic. de M URGH   talk  18:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Though we can't grow Hebe in New York, it's a very well-established genus of garden plants.--Wetman (talk) 20:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Far and away the most common use of the term, without a doubt. Just wasting most people's time by have a disambiguation page right away. DreamGuy (talk) 18:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: I changed the hatnote in the article as it was creating some confusion. It incorrectly stated that Hebe redirected to this page, which it does not. I've fixed it now. Nevertheless, I'm going to have to Oppose this move, as there are quite a number of other pages which also generate considerable traffic, as mentioned by Murgh and Wetman. Also, a quick google search alerted me to Hebe Tien which is clearly at least as, if not perhaps more, accessed than Hebe (mythology). -France3470 (talk) 20:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Title
Although the earlier RM failed, I'd like to point out that Hēbē and Hêbê are available - they currently redirect here. Natural disambiguation is surely better than gluing " (mythology)" onto the end of the title... any thoughts? bobrayner (talk) 11:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Iuventas
Iuventas ought not to redirect to this page, but should have an article of her own. (Juno doesn't automatically redirect to Hera neither.) Michael! (talk) 20:55, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Reference to Hebe's birth
Who exactly states that Hera conceived Hebe bt eating lettuce while dining beside Apollo? I couldn't find any translated texts that state so. Shachi77 (talk) 18:53, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Actually Hibi is the modern Greek pronunciation. Ancient Greek pronunciation would have been Hèbè. Not sure what the correct phonetic symbol is for è (as in air). Angelorf (talk) 05:19, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

writings about Hebe
Do we have any examples of original Greek writings about Hebe? Things translated to English, as opposed to paraphrased reviews? Like the Illyiad or so on? WakandaQT (talk) 08:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes. Hebe appears in many greek sources, including the Iliad. You can look at the references section.NeoSIMIAN-Terraform (talk) 08:55, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Repeated text
"In some traditions that were recorded by Servius, her father Zeus gifted her two doves with human voices, and one flew to where the Oracle of Dodona would be established." Is at the end of paragraph 1 and 4 of the mythology, birth section. Please decide in which of the two places it is more relevant and remove the other. Nihil2407 (talk) 15:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
