Misleading direction[edit]

Chris troutman, this is not an issue of her having the same notability, as much as an issue in spelling. Would a disambiguation work better for you? Pegasis (with an "I") being a water nymph and her own tie-ins to culture, her husband, a prince, and prodigy, a warrior son, is clearly different from and not to be confused with a horse, fantastically winged, or not— think of the children, spelling is important.

@WurmWoode: Redirection was an alternative to deletion. You refused. Now I'm just nominating it for deletion. Next time, discuss with me prior to reverting me. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:21, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, what?? Shouldn't you have discussed with me before you struck first with a revert of my edit? And why don't you address the points I raised, as in my edit summary to begin with and as I reiterate:

I lay no claim as to her having huge notability, only that it is misleading to re-direct her name straight-away to Pegasus— she is not a misspelling for a horse
If anything, notability ought to be on par with Emathion and Atymnius WurmWoode^T 17:02, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Granicus[edit]

Nothing I can find in any of the sources (or their sources) appears to establish Granicus as a "river god" or as the father of Pegasis. --tronvillain (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Granicus is a river, and "Next his weapon pierc'd Atymnius, whom the nymph with golden locks, Bright Pegasis, to brave Emalion bore, Where deep Granicus rolls his lucid stream"^[1] (or the Delphi version "To strong Emathion by Granicus' stream") says that Emalion was born by it, but it doesn't establish Granicus as the father of Pegasis. The Greek Mythology Link does mention him as a river god, but doesn't mention Pegasis. --tronvillain (talk) 20:24, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
