M-L-K-R-T[edit]

What is the recent position on that inescapable sequence of five consonants shared by Melqart and Melicretes? The article ought to devote a section to this debated connection/misconnection.--Wetman (talk) 23:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

It was proposed previously that Melicertes be merged with Palaemon. I've fixed the proposal so its properly tagged. Since the articles are about the same thing they should be combined. Any discussion can go there! Thanks. --DarkCrow^Caw 13:18, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while, but I agree. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 16:34, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hearing no objections...done. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 23:28, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Melqart[edit]

@Akhshartag: Could you please point out where in the article there is a sourced statement which asserts that Melqart is the Canaanite equivalent of Melicertes? Thanks, Michael Aurel (talk) 04:54, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, where in our Wikipedia article? – Michael Aurel (talk) 23:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As Ziemann's article quite clearly indicates that there is a general consensus in modern scholarship that the two deities are separate (whatever Ziemann himself may be trying to argue), I have again removed the equivalency. – Michael Aurel (talk) 13:11, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Origin[edit]

Origin section is very unclear. I believe it is saying that Melicertes is a Greek adaptation of Melqart (doesn't say that explicitly), and that Palaemon (greek language??) is a name for Hercules which makes Pelaemon an aspect of Hercules?

The whole thing needs a fresh rewrite to explain what is meant from basic principles. 71.125.252.118 (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
