thread_title: Wow, horrible article

message: First, the Titanomachy lasted ten years. I can see how "they fought for ten full years, then..." might suggest to some that victory came in the eleventh year, but the phrase "ten full years" should not be taken too literally. Greek mythology likes 10-year wars: e.g., the Trojan War and the Gigantomachy. I know there are a number of websites that say 11 years, but I defy anyone to find a peer-reviewed book or article that does likewise.
Also, this article is poorly (i.e., not at all) sourced, and seems to be a mish-mash of disparate sources blended together. For example, the stuff about Poseidon's trident and Hades' helmet comes from Apollodorus, not Hesiod.
Finally, what's with the "Gigantes"? The article uses the term "Titans" rather than "Titanes", so why not simply "Giants"? Ifnkovhg (talk) 17:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do insert sources, using the  formula. Gigantes shouldn't be confused with Titans. --Wetman (talk) 22:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As for using "gigantes" rather than "giants", perhaps the editor was hungry. --Akhilleus (talk) 22:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Couple of things... 

message: Personally, I'm a fan of the series... but I don't think that this section belongs here. If it weren't bad enough, they wrote the end like a game stop review. -TheCrimsonANTHROPOLOGIST 03:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  God of war II ? 

message: This is totally unrelated, but the Titanomachy is in the game Age Of Mytology as a cheat. If typed in full caps in the chat box, during a Random Map game, will make a Titan appear at the Town Center.

thread_title:  Age Of Mythology 

message: I know there was a war between the Titans led by Kronos and the Olympians led by Zeus, but who fought, who remained neutral, and who was banished to the pit of Tartaros? 
Many sources say all of Kronos brothers were banished with him to Tartaros, thought Okeanos never took part in the fighting, so was he pardoned or was he banished. Assuming that all of Zeus brothers and sister fought on his side then its seems to be the Olympians were Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Haides, Hestia, and Demeter. What Titans fought then and who was banished?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.188.253 (talk) 01:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who Ended Up In Tartaros? 

message: :Wikipedia's rather naive article War in Heaven also takes Carlaude's narrowly Christianist pov, and is not a desirable model of competent discourse, but it does have a brief section that Carlaude will surely want to blank:
::Similar motif outside Judeo-Christian faiths
::The fall of superhuman beings punished for opposing gods is also found outside of the Abrahamic faiths. Homer's Iliad says Hephaestus was cast down from the heavenly threshold by Zeus and landed on the island of Lemnos nearly dead.Iliad 1:590-594, translation Hesiod 's Theogony recounts that the gods, after defeating the Titans, hurled them down to Tartarus (the Titanomachy) as far beneath the earth as earth is beneath the sky.lines 718-726, translation

replies: text: We don't need to blank this. The text is seems fine to me; it is only the footnote that both fails to be found in the cited chapter and is missleading (at best). If you think it has any bearing on your Titanomachy statement, thou, I don't see it. Please be more clear on that, or take this to that page.  06:21, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: More Wetman comments on Carlaude

message: This article starts by saying the war took place "long before" mankind appeared. But later it says Hera got the ball rolling because of Epaphus, whose mother was a human from Argos. Which is it? Do sources differ? --72.34.180.61 (talk) 05:06, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Timeframe 

message: The article lede says that the Titan Wars were "fought ... long before the existence of mankind." But the Works and Days (ll. 109 ff.) talks of: "a golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of Cronos when he was reigning in heaven." Does this not suggest that, in the mythology, men existed before the Titanomachy; or, at least, that the matter is contentious? It Is Me Here t / c 15:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The same answer applies here that I gave to a previous question, that is that there are always conflicts among sources in Greek mythology, which just goes to show that there were multiple versions of the myths (which makes sense given the geographical diversity of greek culture and the long length of time the civilization lasted for, of course new versions woud arise). I think that the ideal for a wikipedia article is to talk about all the different versions of the myth, and the inherent inconsistencies, so as to say there is no "right" version.

thread_title:  Lede dispute 

message: The article changes from using Uranus to Ouranos mid-way through. Is the latter vandalism, or an alternative spelling?

replies: text: Both "Uranus" and "Ouranos" are common English spellings. But "Uranus" is the more traditional and still -- by far -- the most common spelling. Hence the spelling used in our article Uranus (mythology) . A recent IP changed the spelling in part of this article to "Ouranos". I've changed it back. Obviously any article ought to use a consistent spelling, and also ought to use the most common spelling. Paul August ☎ 16:17, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
