I took out various things in this article that were mistaken. 
It was Philoctetes not Palamedes that Ulysses/Diomedes went to fetch. Palamedes was already dead by the machinations of Ulysses.
I took out the whole Hesiod "Little Iliad", because he did not write it is ascribe to Leeches. Anyways in the Little Iliad, Aeneas gets captured and given to Achilles' son as a slave. Check out the Post Homer Epic cycle fragments, the Loeb classical Library has it.
I will also edit out his death, because according to Larrouse's Encylopedia og mythology, I think it was the name (i'll check it) he does get killed by the doings of Danaus, but I will get the proper source before making that edit. I will also come back to check out the whole article.

thread_title: Plagiarism?

message: This is all presented as if it were a "biography" of the hero, divorced from any sources. The sub-sections show a series of themes that gather round the mythic figure, which provides a better framework than a "biography". --Wetman 22:48, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: It's comprehensive and I apperciate that, but I'm not sure it's necessary. None of the other articles on mythological greek characters contain this much information, including those who were much more important than Diomedes. I think this article needs to be chopped down to a bit.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 19:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: This article seems really biased to me. It builds Diomedes up too much. And also I'm not sure about some of these statements, like I don't recall him "vanquishing" Hector twice. I thought only Achilles was better than Hector.Excelsus (talk) 03:09, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  A bit biased maybe 

message: Achilles is 15 at the start of the war, and must therefore surely be younger than Diomedes (who is 15 when he goes to Thebes, some years before the war); I suppose, as his father is alive, Achilles is best described as a prince rather than a king, but I'm sure he is referred to as king several times.--86.179.225.42 (talk) 01:40, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Calculating exact ages for mythological figures is a hopeless enterprise. Better to observe how the Iliad and other sources characterize Diomedes; Homer depicts him as younger you  (and less confident/authoritative) than Achilles, no matter how illogical this might seem. And all of the heroes are basileis, you can translate this as king or prince according to your lights. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:13, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Youngest King? 

message: In Homer's Iliad, Diomedes is referred to as 'Diomed'. As a result, it took me longer than it should have to find this wikipedia page and learn more about him. Can someone please include the name 'Diomed' as an alternate, Romanised name for Diomedes so that people who google it don't end up on a racehorse wikipedia page like I did? Thanks N2O Calico (talk) 00:18, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually Diomed is an anglicization of the Romanised name (Diomedes) of the Greek name (Διομήδης). But if it is used in English, it would not hurt to include it as an alternate. 2A02:85F:FCBD:4588:5584:44EA:B288:3376 (talk) 08:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nomenclature 

message: The article claims that Epigonoi means  born "after everything has happened". However LSJ defines it as "offspring" (among other meanings, but not including the one cited in the article). As I do not know whence the definition present in the article comes from, I did not correct it; instead I added a citation needed tag.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:85F:FCBD:4588:5584:44EA:B288:3376 (talk) 08:33, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
