Talk:Callisto (mythology)

message: I’ve made some major revisions to the latter half of this article’s myth section because, what can I say, it’s really very poor. For the point of “Zeus took the form of Artemis...” we begin with Ovid’s account (using Greek names for some inexplicable reason), then halfway through the paragraph switch back to Hesiod. In the next paragraph we’re back to Ovid (or “in another telling”)–this time using Roman names. And finally in the third paragraph it returns to using the Greek names, drawing from an uncited source but giving more or less the same explanation for the myth as the previous paragraph. My edit follows Ovid consistently and should reduce confusion. 69.202.63.162 17:12, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

What do the ancient authors say on this point? 2A00:23C7:E287:1901:51C9:5E95:DA13:63B6 (talk) 00:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

message: It seems most versions of this story that I can find online have Zeus transform Callisto into a bear to hide her from Hera, rather than Hera transforming her in anger. It seems like that version should be included somehow, unless it's somehow a modern invention. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:56, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That version comes from Apollodorus (3.8.2), which it seems this article only touches on briefly. After, as the article says, "Zeus disguised himself as Artemis or Apollo, in order to lure Callisto into his embrace", Zeus then transformed her into a bear to hide the event from Hera (and the rest of the myth follows). Hyginus (Fabulae 2.1.4) presents a comparable version. – Michael Aurel (talk) 04:23, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I see the colors fine. The problem for me is they seem to have an Arcas (next to Pelagus) who should actually be Argos. But I don't know how to fix charts, so if someone could...?Johundhar (talk) 06:29, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
