Homeric Minimum

 * ... that the Homeric solar minimum may have been responsible for permanent snow on Mount Olympus, which is in turn referenced in Greek mythology and Homer? HOL2 glacial phase...HOL2 likely initiated around 2.8 ka during a major solar insolation low, the Homeric Minimum...This might have fed the imagination of the Ancient Greeks to give Mount Olympus its name, which according to an accredited interpretation means the “ever shining mountain” Homer himself refers to Mount Olympus' permanent snows and violent storms in many occasions, in both ancient Greek poems of Iliad and Odyssey

 * Comment: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/2002EO000113 at first inspired me to write a hook involving Ezekiel as well, but now I am not sure if the source associates Ezekiel's vision with the Homeric Minimum; can someone check?

 * starting review. Zeete (talk) 13:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * New, long enough per DYK check, 2,112, longer if count substantial list items; cited; neutral; Earwig reports violation unlikely, reference titles found; hook cited (but need paid access, AGF source above), interesting; QPQ done;
 * note on Ezekiel from comment, source states: "Thus, Eddy put the end of the Homeric Minimum at 640 B.C., or more than 40 years before the date of Ezekiel's vision." so hook with Ezekiel would not be appropriate
 * editorial: consider direct link to Homeric Minimum in hook
