List of Heroes

This seems like a good candidate for a table, showing the name of the hero and the location of the cult site. Maybe also a note on what kind of hero it is, e.g. fictional or historical. --ESP (talk) 17:03, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this section feels weird to me without more information about the type of hero. From the page's title, I think it's implied that this is the list of people who had cults, but I somehow doubt there's a cult of Paris! 206.211.137.214 (talk) 00:26, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Homeric Reference

Being edited by Colgate University Student, will input information about specific heroes and relations between humans and gods. Jc1196 (talk) 16:36, 30 November 2015 (UTC) Please clarify the sentence -->In Homeric Greek, "hero" (heroes, ἥρως) refers to 'a' man who was fighting on either side during the Trojan War.<-- The word "a" close to "man" seems to refer to a single man, but probably it was ANY and refers to ANY man fighting during the Trojan war. This detail can lead to huge difference in the interpretation of the word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alessandromerlettidepalo (talk • contribs) 12:37, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

I prepose that this page be merged into the Hero page in order to streamline and bring together information into a more efficient setup. CaveatLector 02:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Strongly. What the Greeks mean by hero is not the same as what we mean by it. Bacchiad 14:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose. I agree with Bacchiad's assessment. Deucalionite (talk) 15:45, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paris links to wrong page

It links to the city, not the hero — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkkelf99 (talk • contribs) 05:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
