Andromeda (mythology) image deletion discussion[edit]

There is an image deletion discussion about the file "Clash of the Titans poster" in use at Andromeda (mythology). It demonstrates that the myth remains current, and that misinterpretation of the black princess of Aethiopia as a white woman is also continuing, a matter of racism in the eyes of some of the cited scholars. Project members are invited to contribute their opinions to the discussion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:14, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If Perdix (mythology) is merged with Talos (inventor), what should the destination be?[edit]

The two articles Perdix (mythology) and Talos (inventor) seem to both be describing the same mythical character, nephew of Daedalus who, according to legend, invented the potter's wheel, saw, and compass. However, there seems to be some disagreement in ancient sources about whether Perdix was the name of Daedalus's sister with a son named Talos, Calos, or Attalus, or whether Perdix was the name of Daedalus's nephew (with a mother of unknown name). Either way though, this story would be best consolidated in one wiki page instead of duplicated twice. (The mother herself doesn't seem to be independently notable, with ancient sources focused on her brother and son.) I don't feel qualified to judge which would be the most useful title of that article though. Does anyone who knows more about Greek mythology have any insight? –jacobolus (t) 23:59, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
