I think Plutus the play should be moved back to Plutus (play). I'll take care of it soon if there are no objections. - Ravenous 18:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I would like to know about symbols of Plutus.

Where is actual information of Plutus?! You guys need to do a better job. BETCHES! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.198.56 (talk) 18:17, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal
The result was no merge. -- FordPrefect42 (talk) 08:49, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely merge!
Plutus is a Romanization of Ploutos, a greek god of harvest riches. Pluto is the Roman god over underworld. Said: Rursus ☻ 09:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * This article would be better under the title Ploutos. But that would take an administrator, and they're all busy... --Wetman (talk) 09:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

No merge, Plutus and Pluto are clearly different deities. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 08:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Removed Hades and Persephone as parents
I've removed the following from the lead as needing qualification and context:
 * He was either the son of Demeter and Iasion, with whom she lay in a thrice-ploughed field, or the child of Hades and Persephone.

And I've replaced it with the orginal:
 * He was the son of Demeter and Iasion, with whom she lay in a thrice-ploughed field.

The bald statement that Plutus was the son of "either the son of Demeter and Iasion, ... or the child of Hades and Persephone" is problematic. It mentions a parentage that (as far as I can tell) is never given for Plutus directly, but only indirectly via a supposed identification of Plutus with Brimos (who is more usually identified with Iacchus).

And, as written, gives undo weight to, a at best rarely mentioned parentage. For example, the only parents given in the several secondary sources I've checked so far, are Demeter and Iasion. While this obscure parentage might be worth a mention somewhere in the article, along with the appropriate qualification and context, it does not belong here, and in this way.

Plutus is an Underworld Resident
I was hoping that Plutus could be added to the "Residents" section of the Greek underworld Template. Seeing as he is believed to be a son of Hades it only makes sense that he was probably born in the Underworld, or at the very least spent some time there.
