Talk:Eos

message: Wetman, if you read straight through the article "rosy-fingered" is mentioned extensively.  I took out the cryptic, passing parenthetical reference because I don't think it adds very much; Homer is quoted directly a few lines further down.  As someone with the copyedit perspective of coming to this article for the first time (as opposed to the perspective of someone in the thick of it) I found the parenthetical reference out of place and unnecessary.  --Chinasaur 08:24, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: "Eos is the iconic original from which Christian angels were imagined, for no images were available from the Hebrew tradition, and the Persian angels were unknown in the West."
:Er, is that sure? They are many winged figures in the Greek mythology: the winds (see :Image:Hyakinthos.jpg for instance), victory and of course Eros, who is even represented draped in hellenistic and late representations, such as :Image:Draped Eros Louvre Myr139.jpg. There is not much difference with good old Christmas angels. Jastrow 17:50, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Amend the text. You might mention that Athene had lost her wings before the classic period. --Wetman

message: people talk about her rosey fingers all the time that they dont talk about her history or anything else. all i know about her is that she has rosey fingers and she is the goddess of dawn. (Anon.)
:With that and her lover-consorts, especially Tithonus,  you've got it; inventing full biographies for mythic figures is the game of Christian hagiography. The Greeks didn't indulge. --Wetman 23:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The etymology of Eostre/Easter is too obscure to cite so assuredly here.--Wetman (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? Beekes has it (or at least includes the OHG cognate) in his article on p. 493, and that's about as authoritative as you get! :) And West uses the word 'undoubtedly' when expressing the possibility of a connection (p. 227).Johundhar (talk) 04:09, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

message: Uṣás is an equivalent deity of Eos. Their names are cognates, they both are daughters of the sky god (duhitā́r-diváh and thugátēr Diós), both described as "bringers of light" ("bhānty Usásah" and "λαμπρο-φαής"), both are associated with gold (híraṇya-varṇā and khrysopédillos), both are associated with red, both are described as dancers (nṛtūr iva and χοροί), both have light hands (híraṇyapāṇi and rhodópēkhus/rhododáktylos), both ride chariots, both open doors of heaven (dvā́rau ... Diváḥ and θύρας ... φαεινάς), both are reluctant bringers of light, and it is reliably sourced.
:Do any of these sources call them "eqivalent"? Paul August ☎ 20:57, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes they refer to these deities as equivalent in the various Indo-European religions. They go in depth about the Proto-Indo-Europeans, their reconstructed religion, and the various evidences found by these common equivalents found in daughter religion. The Sky father, Earth mother, Dawn goddess, Divine twins, and Thunder god are the the most common and widely accepted deities among scholars who have studied the Indo-European deities. In the Greek religion they are attested as Zeus Pater, Ouranos and Gaia, Eos, and the Dioskuri. In the Vedic relgion they are attested as Dyaush Pitra, Prithvi Mata, Ushas, the Ashvins, and Indra. In the Roman religion they are attested as Jupiter, Tullus Mater, and Aurora.Chariotrider555 (talk) 23:46, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Much thanks for all this. If the sources you cite explicitly use the word "equivalent" as applied to Eos and Uṣás, then that would certainly be adequate sourcing. Unfortunately I'm unable to verify this. I can't find such a usage in these works available online, and I don't have easy access to the works themselves (libraries being unavailable because of Covid). Could you possibly provide relevant quotes with page numbers? That would be much appreciated, thanks ;-) Paul August ☎ 14:10, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

message: With no reference... 
(when you check the so-called reference)
Obviously, since you cannot be both: God and Goddesses being the children of the Titans.
Which distinguish one another:
just like Chronos is the Titan, kind of that personnify Time and IS NOT AND NEVER WERE the God of Time
And, we can go on like that with: Gaïa, Ouranos, Atlas, etc..., etc... So many other exemples that all prove that Titans aren't Gods.

replies: text: No the twelve Titans, along with their parents (Gaia, and Uranus) and their offspring (Eos, the sun god Helios, and the moon goddess Selene, etc.) were all gods. The Titans (Cronus, Rhea, etc.) were an earlier generation of gods, prior to the Olympian gods (Zeus, Hera etc.) And Gaia and Uranus were primordial gods. Paul August ☎ 12:26, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
