Editing Talk:Titanomachy (section)

== Couple of things... ==

First, the Titanomachy lasted ten years. I can see how "they fought for ten full years, then..." might suggest to some that victory came in the eleventh year, but the phrase "ten full years" should not be taken too literally. Greek mythology likes 10-year wars: e.g., the Trojan War and the Gigantomachy. I know there are a number of websites that say 11 years, but I defy anyone to find a peer-reviewed book or article that does likewise.

Also, this article is poorly (i.e., not at all) sourced, and seems to be a mish-mash of disparate sources blended together. For example, the stuff about Poseidon's trident and Hades' helmet comes from Apollodorus, not Hesiod.

Finally, what's with the "Gigantes"? The article uses the term "Titans" rather than "Titanes", so why not simply "Giants"? [[User:Ifnkovhg|Ifnkovhg]] ([[User talk:Ifnkovhg|talk]]) 17:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
:Please do insert sources, using the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> formula. Gigantes shouldn't be confused with Titans. --[[User:Wetman|Wetman]] ([[User talk:Wetman|talk]]) 22:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
::As for using "gigantes" rather than "giants", perhaps the editor was [http://hungrymouth.typepad.com/hungry_mouth/2005/01/a_duo_of_greek_.html hungry]. [[User:Akhilleus|--Akhilleus]] ([[User talk:Akhilleus|talk]]) 22:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
