"The result was a hermaphrodite named Agdistis." That's wrong! The result wasn't an intersexual, but a bothsexual that killed everyone as he/she liked! -- Robodoc.at 19:10, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Spivak pronouns

I am removing the use of Spivak pronouns such as "hir" from this article, because this type of gender-neutral language is very unfamiliar among the general public, who are the target audience of this article. Dcoetzee 22:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

And are utterly ridiculous at that.--LordSnow (talk) 01:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

What about updating to current gender-neutral language? Regardless of individual preferences, use of them, they and their is becoming the accepted grammar. Should this article be updated to follow suit? -Aikidoshi (talk) 20:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Wrong story?

Whether it is or not, the article as it is cites nothing. Your link gives us Pausanias, Heyschius, Strabo, and Arnobius as sources. Someone should do some leg work and do a re-write.--LordSnow (talk) 01:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. Ford MF (talk) 19:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Really? The main myth is attributed to Pausainus 7. 17.5--here is that that text actually says "To resume after my researches into Achaean history. The boundary between Achaia and Elis is the river Larisus, and by the river is a temple of Larisaean Athena; about thirty stades distant from the Larisus is Dyme, an Achaean city. This was the only Achaean city that in his wars Philip the son of Demetrius made subject to him, and for this reason Sulpicius, another Roman governor, handed over Dyme to be sacked by his soldiery. Afterwards Augustus annexed it to Patrae." I'll fix it if I ever find the correct reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.207.200.151 (talk) 16:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Two figures with the same name?

Vermaseren (1966) notes the following in his study of Attis in Greek and Roman art: "In the legend this monstruous person is distinct from the goddess Agdistis, whose cult has left some traces in Asia Minor." Is this correct? Should the page make a distinction? --Ghostexorcist (talk) 15:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
