Medea Complex[edit]

Should this be on this page? I suggest we make a general article for mothers killing children. Medea's children were very old she killed them, and this page explicitly talks about children under 1 day old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.228.106 (talk) 02:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I changed Medea to the Euripedes play, Medea and removed the "dubious" tag, since her killing her children in the play is indisputable. (Whether the reference should be there or not, it is true and therefore not dubious.) I did put a "citation needed" tag on the claim that that's the earliest known reference. Since it is mythological (rather than historical), I can't help but wonder if earlier cultures had such myths too.OckRaz ^talk 16:04, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there barely any mention of the countless historical neonaticide practices, around the world?[edit]

It was common in Old Norse society (and kept the practice, even some time after christianization), Ancient Greece (at least parts of it. If nothing else, it was quite common practice in Sparta), pre-Modern Japan (which does get a tiny, puny, mention), and many many other societies. A lot of which is covered in infanticide. Why isn't any of this mentioned, here?--98.128.229.118 (talk) 17:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
