Talk:Pah-Peh-Rheo


 * i'm glad someone made this biography. quite a daffy subject, however. Badanedwa 01:01, May 1, 2004 (UTC)

I think it's quite silly to include the page to a real person, it could be written into the main biography, though...

The Burning Unasked Question
So this fellow is an uncle to Cleopatra III of Egypt, a human, and thus, is likely a human himself, albeit with a "Ducky" name. By the time of Eider McDuck, 700 years later, I'm guessing the McDucks were ducks of the anthropomorphic Donald Duck variety, if only because most of the puns in the names of Clan McDuck are more or less dependent on feathers. :)

Raising the obvious problem... the Egyptian royals were known to practice philadephic love, and were known to venerate animals. At some point, did philadelphic love become phila-duck-ic love? :) (When one thinks of the available jokes, I think I'm being quite tasteful here!)  I mean, Donald can walk and talk, and he does wear clothes... ;)  Have Barks or Rosa ever, ahem, commented on this?

Actually several historical figures have been depicted as ducks in their stories. Including Francis Drake for obvious reasons. User:Dimadick

History
It is unnecessary and off-topic to explain the actual circumstances of the fall of Egypt, since they are available elsewhere on Wikipedia; and the fictional history of Pah-Peh-Rheo is different anyway. Lengthy off-topic sections are deprecated. This article is marginal anyway, as discussing unauthorized (although amusing) filk; please don't push it. Septentrionalis 16:08, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

The story depicts the fall of Ptolemaic Egypt and the characters are connected to the Ptolemaic dynasty itself. Caesar Augustus plays a prominent part. I think comparing and contrasting the fictional depiction and the actual historical events are excactly what the article should be about. Similar to the article about Prince Edmund (Blackadder) which I also worked on and took time to compare and contrast its references to the actual historical events and persons involved.

Would you mind explaining what you mean by the term "unauthorized" here? The story was notable at the time and has been reprinted in special edition in my country (Greece) as recently as 2004. User:Dimadick


 * In this context, authorized = approved or licensed by Disney, and therefore part of the standard mythos. Nothing wrong or illegal with pure fanac, but it does argue against notability. Septentrionalis 18:46, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

There is no standard mythos for any of the characters. They appear in hundreds of stories every year. Fanac? User:Dimadick


 * fannish activity. I'm surprised that's a redlink, but I suppose it may be a dicdef. Septentrionalis 22:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Nephews
Given the other character-equivilents mentioned, I take it it Pah-Peh-Rheo's eldest nephew resembled Donald, and the three younger ones were Huey, Louie and Dewey? Daibhid C 00:21, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
