Missing link
Why Hesperis (mythology) does not point to Hesperius? Are they not the same?--141.70.82.221 08:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * "Hesperius" is a Latin spelling of Hesperios or Hesperos, a name applied to the draco that guarded the trees in the garden of the Hesperides, often called Ladon. Another Hesperios figures in Thomas Campion's ''Ad Thamesin:
 * esto precor facilis, quosque ingens gloria Martis
 * extulit Hesperios, animis rebusque potentes
 * excipe, conde sinu, nostroque in littora siste."

and much more... But the Wikipedia "Hesperius" article is bogus. --Wetman 09:16, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed Irena from a redirect to a disambiguation, but I don't know if it should link to this article or to Eirene. Jimfbleak 07:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Those "generations"
The artificial introduction of unsourced "generations" in this unsourced article, where the horae mentioned by Hesiod are names of the "second" generation, may stymie editors who would work on the article otherwise.--Wetman (talk) 22:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

The 12 Hours
Who initially proposed the "separate suite of Horae"?

Ears of corn?
Theros is described as "Crowned with ears of corn", but there was no maize in the ancient Greece. Should probably be wheat?84.214.214.19 (talk) 16:10, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * No, dude - corn. Johnbod (talk) 16:13, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
