Talk:Demigod

Buddhism

I don't really see the point of expounding on Buddhist asuras here, especially since, as the page points out, it is not a proper translation. Why don't we put in a note sending people to asura for information? - Nat Kraus e 15:44, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

i really think the two items in this area both need citations.--The undertow 22:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Greeks had no such category, however, which consequently introduces unnecessary confusion."

This perfectly sensible sentence, which makes a necessary point here, correcting past confusion in this article (see Article history), was deleted by User:Alterego, who has not made any previous contributions to this article, with the pert Edit Summary: "remove unnecessary sentence". I restored it of course and received the following little note: "Please read the official Wikipedia policy regarding article ownership." I merely lay this all out publicly, for I see no reason to be bullied in private. There will be nothing further from me on this subject. --Wetman 6 July 2005 05:16 (UTC)

"since We already provide a link to the greek concept, this sentence is redundant. additionally, it is distinctly POV" (Edit summary of User:Alterego, reverting again) (The reader may judge whether this assertion reflects a neutral—or even an informed— point-of-view.)

Demigod of mythological context.

Demigod--half man, half god... 50% god and 50% man.

The Greeks have their Heroes and Titans, born of heaven and earth. The Hebrews have their Nephilim, born of women and the sons of god.

The distinguishing aspect of these demigods is their enormous strength and stature, and influence on ancient civilization--due to their supernatural birth. --71.215.154.31 23:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
