Remarkable

"One remarkable commentary of Herodotus[53] on Heracles is that he lived 900 years before himself (c. 1300 BCE)."

That is pretty remarkable. To live before oneself is quite an achievement. Can I take it the 'himself' in this case is Herodotus? I'd just rephrase it without asking, but if you can trust anyone outside of Gallifrey to take a temporal paradox in their stride, it'd have to be this chap... :o) - Coldwind139 (talk) 21:07, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten it. Paul August ☎ 23:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone move/merge info from #Marriages into #Death?

The Heracles#Marriages section describes his death better than the Heracles#Death section does. There's also plenty of repetition between them.

Info from the former should be moved to the latter. (I'd do it but I don't know the subject at all.) Gronky (talk) 09:38, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient source

From what ancient authors do we primarily know Heracles' adventures? In other words: is there a main work that concerns the Twelve Labours? I have a hard time finding it in this article. 83.83.1.229 (talk) 20:44, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 8 February 2014

Heracles homosexuality/bisexuality deleted. How can this be reversed?

I was browsing and noticed an unusual layout in this article. I noticed a subheading under Heracles Lovers for Women, and scrolled down for the Men subheading. It seems it was recently (1/19/2014) deleted by an editor MPA. When I clicked on MPA it came up empty.

I'm not familiar with Wiki etiquette but I assume this is not acceptable.

Example:

Prior Extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess with both males and females were among his characteristic attributes.

Edited ver. Extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess were among his characteristic attributes.


Didn't think this was a controversy. Thanks for your attention. 65.9.21.37 (talk) 02:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Removal reversed - Removing editor seems confused - on Wikipedia lack of primary sources is a good thing - and how do you get primary sources about a mythical being in any case? Arjayay (talk) 17:30, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
