Talk:Laelaps (mythology)

Philosophy
This one favourite article of mine should also be considered an old style philosophical stub. I think the Laelaps paradox is related to the omnipotence paradox. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 09:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Repetition?
Why is most of the same information repeated one next to the other? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.192.7.251 (talk) 04:40, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

stoned
this doesn't make sense and in no way fixes the problem...the dog still never caught that fox stone/stars or not. zeus solved nothing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.78.113.160 (talk) 13:08, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

it was a male dog
at least ovid told about laelaps as of a male dog i found no reference it was female, so if you think it was a bitch, you should find a reference, right now i change its gender in the article to male

you can find a few sources here http://www.theoi.com/Ther/KuonLailaps.html


 * Ovid, Metamorphoses 7. 745 ff (trans. Melville) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
 * "She [Prokris] gave me [Kephalos] too, as though herself were gift of small account, a hound [Lailaps] her own Cynthia [Artemis] had given her, saying `He’ll outrun them all.’

see, 'he will outrun them all', not 'she will outrun'
