Talk:Thalia (Muse)

message: First sentence contains bad maths: Thalia can refer to four distinct entities in Greek mythology, two of whom were daughters of Zeus, and a third of whom bore him sons.
Unless a third of a woman bore Zeus sons, it is not proper and must be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrBogdanovic (talk • contribs) 01:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

After the words "to bloom":  Could someone who actually knows clean up the phrasing?  This is very confusing.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.3.242 (talk • contribs) on 4 November 2005
Where is the singer?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xhamlliku (talk • contribs) on 16 November 2005
Use the disambiguation link at the top of this page to find the Mexican singer (Thalia Sodi). 138.69.160.1 17:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but I've never heard of her, so she can't be that popular. Besides, in a few years, no one will even know the singer's name, but the study of Greek mythology has been going on for millennia. :P IrisWings 09:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Renaming 

message: I'm not entirely sure the explanation of the meaning of Thalia in Albanian is in the same tone as the rest of the entry. Should the explanation be re-written or perhaps moved to another section of the article?

message: From the intro:
:Thalia can refer to four distinct entities in Greek mythology, two of whom were daughters of Zeus, and a third of whom bore him sons.
Supposedly, Thalia has four meanings, but only three are listed.  Is the total wrong, or has someone been skipped? -Bbik★ 05:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: How many, now?

message: The article says "Thalia was portrayed holding a comic mom, a shepherd’s staff, or a wreath of ivy."
What exactly is a "comic mom" as used in this context. Obviously some kind of object but what?

thread_title:  "...holding a comic mom..." 

message: Besides the poor grammar and complete lack of citations this section is essentially way off-topic as written. With cleanup however I suspect there is room for it as follows:
I moved the level 2 section "Percy Jackson & and the Olympians" down to level 3 and started a new level 2 section over it called "Thalia in modern literature". I do not know much about such literature but I can easily see that the original section is (a) unencyclopedic / off-topic unless somehow cross-related to the topic of literature. I wager a guess that there are probably numerous references to all of the muses in modern literature but I am not the expert in these subjects so I am pointing out an obvious flaw and hoping someone can run with it.
On second thought ... as I write this ... this section might be appropriate to include in some kind of a list like "List of Classic Greek Muses found in Modern Art" which could include various movies and books and paintings. I think I will move this section there and create a See Also section in its place. 66.102.199.176 (talk) 17:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
