Comments

I'm not entirely knowledgable when it comes to Greek Mythology, but this page contradicts the page on Tiresias.

There, it says: "When Tiresias sided with Zeus, Hera struck him blind. Since Zeus could not undo what she had done, he gave him the gift of prophecy." Yet here it claims Athena both removed his sight and gave him the gift of prophecy.

Confusion

Either I'm very confused or this article still is (it was originally one figure and now its two). To me it seems to be a conflation of three different figures called Chariclo (see http://www.theoi.com/Encyc_C.html#C which lists two and http://www.csulb.edu/~dbouvier/Entities/indexC.html which lists three).

More confusion ...

Ref 3 quotes Scholia ad Pindar Pythian Odes 4.181. I cannot find any reference which quotes Apollo as father of Chariclo. See https://scaife.perseus.org/reader/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg5034.tlg001b.perseus-grc1:4.181/ This scholia does not refer to Chariclo, but to Charicles, a totally different character. whitestarlion (talk) 20:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is a different grammatical form of the same name, I believe – the definite article would indicate that it is in the genitive. Sources such as Brill's New Pauly and the RE also seem to view the passage as referring to this Chariclo. I've added in some secondary sourcing, though, to hopefully avoid confusion in the future. – Michael Aurel (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
