Citations?[edit]

I see no references to any classical Greek god Comus in Perseus, Greek Mythology Link, or any other respected source. Are you sure this isn't just the Greek WORD "comus," (party), adapted into a personified god by John Milton? The total lack of citations on this article doesn't allay my suspicions about it being a complete fabrication. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randy Blackamoor (talk • contribs) 16:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I recall reading in footnote in the Loeb edition of Nonnos' Dionysiaca that Comus was indeed a late personification. Much earlier than Milton, obviously, but probably not a classical "god" in the sense that we typically think of when talking about Greek religion. Also the notion of Bacchus as "purely intoxicated" contrasted to "Comus was a god of excess" and the lack of classical (or any) citation strikes me as extremely odd. This whole stub is highly dubious, and I would suggest deletion unless something substantial can be produced. 76.180.182.198 (talk) 23:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
