Talk:Hecuba

Can someone add her appearance in Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna - Carmine Borana” lyrics as Hecubam regina. I wouldn’t know how to reference it properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Synapse001 (talk • contribs) 18:45, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Comments and questions
1. According to the article on "Sangarius (mythology)", "He is described as the son of Oceanus and Tethys, and as the husband of Metope, by whom he became the father of Hecuba". This is according to Hesiod and Apollodorus. I would add this information to this article for completeness.

2. In the article "List of children of Priam", Hecuba is given as daughter of Dymas or Cisseus.

3. The article mentions "Alexander's treasure".

Who is Alexander? I don't think it's Hector's brother.

4. "In Book 22, she pleads with Hector not to fight Achilles, for fear of "never get[ting] to mourn you laid out on a bier."

This sentence just doesn't sound good.

5. "An oracle prophesied that Troy would not be defeated if Troilus reached the age of twenty alive, but he was killed by Achilles."

This sentence does not sound good.
