Greek mythology pages

[edit]

Hi, I've noticed you making mostly positive contributions to various pages related to Greek mythology. I just wanted to let you know that with regards to edits such as this and this, the reason we can't put that information there is because the purpose of infoboxes is to summarise information which already exists in the article, and those deities were not mentioned as such in their articles. Also, before we could add such information to the article, we would need a reliable source to support what we're saying. Regards, Michael Aurel (talk) 02:25, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I will add that Helios is often considered to be a Titan, for example you might like to read the entry in Brill's New Pauly on Sol (which covers Helios as well). – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:43, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Give me a myth that tells me that he’s a titan 23.242.174.8 (talk) 02:14, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Children of the original twelve Titans are sometimes also referred to as Titans. Hesiod makes Helios the child of Hyperion and Theia, and while there won't be any ancient source which explicitly calls him a "Titan" (or at least I am not aware of one), several modern scholarly sources consider him to be a Titan, or mention him as such. In addition to the Brill's New Pauly article, which talks about his "classification as a Titan", Smith, s.v. Titans (2) states that "[t]he name Titans is also given to those divine or semi-divine beings who were descended from the Titans, ... especially Helios and Selene (Mene), as the children of Hyperion and Theia, and even the descendants of Helios, such as Circe", while Tripp, s.v. Helius says that he is "occasionally" considered a Titan. Obviously this is less significant than his role as the god and personification of the Sun, I just thought I would point it out as you said it was a "misconception". – Michael Aurel (talk) 04:14, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What about Kronos and Rheia’s children? They’re not titans. 23.242.174.8 (talk) 16:06, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, I should have said certain children of the original twelve Titans are sometimes also referred to as Titans (definitely not all); other examples would be Atlas and Prometheus. – Michael Aurel (talk) 22:04, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You can revert my Circe edit if you want 23.242.174.8 (talk) 23:07, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No no, "Sun god Helios" is fine. I generally only revert edits if they introduce problems. – Michael Aurel (talk) 00:36, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Give me an example 23.242.174.8 (talk) 17:47, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm? Of an edit I've reverted which introduces problems? – Michael Aurel (talk) 21:47, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes 23.242.174.8 (talk) 03:40, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, here. – Michael Aurel (talk) 05:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
