thread_title: Greek name

message: Most of the world would never think that certain cups of wine are 'really'  blood, or that some bread is part of the body of a person.   Similarly, to say that a spoon 'must'  not touch such saving it were gold or gold-plated does not sound like anything like objective data---it were better said (e.g.) that '[... ] Orthodox religious authorities maintain that the spoon should not [... ] lest [..., ]'.  Similarly, terminology more intelligible to the public at large should be used to distinguish fact from opinion,  e.g. '[...] the wine, which Orthodox  authorities hold were in the course of the ceremony changed into the blood of Jesus, which person they hold to be a Messiah ('Christ') and God, is therefore after that point  referred-to as "the Blood" [....]'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.125.253 (talk) 13:33, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:List of mythological pairs

message: This is a somewhat useful article for tracking down mythological lovers, especially, so I wouldn't want for it to disappear. It could easily become overbroad, though. Minimal criteria should be what? A decent number of results for a quoted google search for "X and Y" / "Y and X" and an existing article or dab describing the pair?
Possibly we should split off/remove the merely legendary elements (Grimms' tales; Arthur). Certainly, it should describe the actual mythologies involved and not merely later creations (e.g., the 19th century works on Pelleas having nothing to do with his original story). — LlywelynII 04:18, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Criteria for inclusion

message: I have just undone an edit from an anon user, who removed Hyacinth from the "Apollo and Hyacinth" pairing in the Lovers section, to substitute him with an obscure "Xandra" (linked to the disambiguation page). Since I had no idea who this Xandra could be in Greek myths and since the articles in the disambiguation page didn't help to shed light on this, I did some further research and found it could be a mispelling / alternate spelling for Cassandra. Now, there is a relation between Apollo and Cassandra, but I stand by my decision to revert that change, and I'm explaining my reasons here in the evntuality that someone disagrees.
1) The fact that "Apollo and Hyacinth" can be considered a lovers pairing is documented in their individual Wikipedia articles, which are both adequatly referenced. The myth is widely known and can be found in any decent encyclopedia or book about Greek mythology. Even if someone wanted to add "Apollo and Cassandra" (or "Apollo and Xandra" if anything like that has reason to stay in the list), this does not mean that "Apollo and Hyacinth" needs to be removed. No matter if someone may have problems with the notion that Greek male deities sometimes were lovers to male mortals.
2) "Apollo and Cassandra", nevertheless, can't really be considered a pair of "lovers". As it is, again, well known, and clearly written in the relative articles here on Wikipedia (again, well referenced), Cassandra was cursed with her profecies never being believed exactly because she refused to become Apollo's lover. As usual in Greek myths, there's different versions but all of them concurr on that point. The two never were lovers and, as such, they can't be included in that list. Exhululath (talk) 14:40, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apollo and Hyacinth vs Apollo and "Xandra" 

message: Should this pair stay in the "Lovers" section? In every version of the myth that I've been able to find, it was a one-sided affair. Daphne always refused Apollo's attentions, constantly fled from him and, when he was about to catch her (and, likely, take her forcefully / rape her), she asked some higher power for help and was, as a result, transformed in Laurel tree. Despite Apollo calling Daphne his "lover" in the works of some authors, all sources seem to be concordant on the fact that she never loved him. Exhululath (talk) 15:25, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a possibility. I guess it depends on how well known his medical degree/career are.

Plantdrew (talk) 22:39, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's acceptable to move this to your suggestion. My only (very minor) complaint with it is the length/clunkiness. But that's it. From what we know of him, he is best known as a naturalist. Another precise, but awful (in my opinion) name for the article would be John Muir (1874–1947). I've seen this type of name used before, but years of birth–death seem like arbitrarily precise things to distinguish one person from another, as they tell you very little about their subjects. Let me see if I can find out what his middle name is. Hamamelis (talk) 12:15, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Moore, James J. (1878). The historical handbook and guide to Oxford: embracing a succinct history of the university and city from the year 912. Thomas Shrimpton and Son. ISBN 1437309445. "The Tradescant Collection was the most popular and curious show of the day, and attracted many visitors. It was named the Museum Tradescantianum, or Tradescant's Ark. Elias Ashmole lodged with Tradescant at Lambeth,and Tradescant bequeathed the Museum to him. When Ashmole gained possession of the Museum he added many varieties to it, including coins, MSS., medals, paintings, and the Library of Lilly, the celebrated astrologer, which he purchased for £50. Ashmole was the son of a saddler at Lichfield, born, according to his own statement, at near half an-hour after three o'clock in the morning, on the 23rd day of May, 1617. He was successively a solicitor in Chancery, an attorney in the Common Fleas a gentleman in the Ordnance (when Oxford was garrisoned by a royal army), an exciseman, a freemason, astrologer, botanist, chemist, anatomist, physician, and a learned herald. Heraldry seems to have been his forte, and astrology his foible. He was the author of the History of the Garter In 1669 he received the honour of "Doctor of Phisick" at Oxford, the diploma bemg presented by Dr. Yates, Principal of Brasenose College."
