Talk:Semele

message: Any help as to what this translates to, for those of us with no ancient Greek? I'm going to guess the second word is "Bacchus," but it's pretty obscure to me (and a lot of people, I'm thinking) none the less.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.148.27 (talk) 00:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "[The Indian river Hydaspes set on fire by Dionysos cries out for mercy :] `The stream you have crossed is no stranger to your name for I have washed another Dionysos in my bath, with the same name as the younger Bromios, when Kronion entrusted Zagreos to the care of my nursing Nymphai; why, you have the whole shape of Zagreos. Grant this favour then, although so long after, to him from whom you are sprung; for you came from the heart of that first born Dionysos, so celebrated [i.e. Zeus swallowed Zagreus’ heart before lying with Semele].'"

thread_title: footnote not supported by text

message: This section needs to be written as a report of scholarly discourse on this subject. An easy start would begin with remarks of Joseph Campbell, and the sources he cites. As it stands, this part of the article isn't up to the standards of the remainder. --Wetman (talk) 07:21, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am sorry to seethat this has merely been suppressed, which is not the truly Wikipedian response. "Dionysus and Christ" is a neutral title for remaking this section.--Wetman 20:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
