Talk:Father Time

message: This illustration would fit better in a new entry for the Holly King. It doesn't represent Father Time. A caption should note that it's a late 19th century engraving. The sleeping babe is garlanded with Convallaria (Lily-of-the-Valley) Wetman 01:49, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: The giant Warner Bros box seems inappropriate, given that Father Time is a somewhat older concept. It should be removed, or the Warner Bros character should be given his own article. -Ahruman 12:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There's really nothing Woden-like about Father Time as far as I can see. Father Christmas, yes, but the two characters are not the same. It is clearly based upon earlier images of the Grim Reaper and Saturn. It's not a bias to equate popular figures in the Western World with Roman ones when so much of the Western World is based upon Greco-Roman concepts. DreamGuy 20:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

text: This is an encyclopedia. We need sourced, expert information, not mere speculation. People can go through any myths of any cultures and pick and choose similarities, but tha's not necessarily evidence that one or the other came from each other. he article used to claim that Father Time came from Odin, and there's no evidence to support that conclusion other than wishful thinking by some people who want to give more influence to non-Greco-Roman figures.

message: Is there any evidence that Father Time was so named to complement Mother Nature?  Have they ever been depicted together?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.225.17.141 (talk) 16:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Ought the page on Chronos be merged with this one? In most general allegorical depictions of Time, there's no distinction made between Chronos and a 'Father Time' figure.

thread_title:  Merge with Chronos? 

message: The third citation's wayback machine link displays an error message in the body of the website, leaving the examples unviewable. The fourth citation leading to the cartoonist group website now redirects to a page stating that cartoons are no longer on that website but may be accessed by contacting one of a list of people. Since these citations no longer link to examples they should be removed or replaced with another list of examples or individual examples. 2604:3D08:2682:2D00:C8C0:F295:EF62:94C4 (talk) 20:44, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
