Talk:Deucalion

message: The intro tell us that Deucalion is son of X and Y. Then the intro tells us nothing about Deucalion, but about Zeus'es deluge. An intro should mainly be about Deucalion, and his role during Zeus'es deluge. Said: Rursus (☻) 21:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: He's much earlier than some of the "primary" sources cited, and mentions Deucalion early in Timaeus.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.21.123.155 (talk) 21:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: A minor note, that we don't need to worry too much about: Prometheus was chained by Mount Caucasus at the end of the Silver Age to be liverhacked each day, for stealing the fire and giving it to the humankind. Then comes the Bronze Age, and Prometheus begets Pronoia creating Deucalion. Then Zeus is pissed off and decides to annihilate the bronze age men. Afterwards comes the Age of Heroes, or maybe the Iron Age, during which Heracles frees Prometheus fronm his chains... (?) Of course: the Greek mythology was very slippery and splattery, so maybe Prometheus did something with Pronoia there upon the mountain, while the eagle hacked liver, but seriously: the mythology probably changed form all the time causing such a contradiction, so it might be important to know in what cultural layer (i.e. arcaic, old antiquity or new antiquity) the Deucalion story got its current form. Probably it was some import myth from a certain cultural layer, since other sources tell us that bronze age men became extinct by their own warfare. ... said: Rursus (mbork³) 14:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Prometheus chronology

message: GOOD STORY TO BE PUT ELSEWHERE: This was a sacrifice that was forbidden in the new Olympian order, utterly inappropriate as an offering, and repugnant besides. Zeus struck Lycaon's house with a thunderbolt and turned him into a wolf. But it was the treatment Zeus received when he visited the hall of the fifty sons of Lycaon, in the usual poverty-stricken disguise. They set him a stew of sheep guts—hearts, livers and tripes—in which they included the stewed innards of their brother Nyctimus. Zeus was appalled by this cannibal offering, and turned them all into a pack of wolves, then restored Nyctimus to life.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fages (talk • contribs) 21:28, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
