Greek Gods should be merged here. --Peter Farago 20:30, 13 September 2005 (EDT)

Irrelevant or Redundant Content?

Since we're not a general encyclopedia, do we need to go into detail into Greek tragedy here? Any useful information here might be best as a subsection in the Religion in the Twelve Colonies article. I also questioned the point of view of the article. It seemed slanted, somehow. --Spencerian 11:27, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

There are references to greek culture in places and character names that go beyond religion. So those might have a place in their own article.
But I agree that article seems somewhat NPOV. Greek tragedy? Maybe, but that could be said for hundereds of other stories. Greek drama is still a rough, maybe unconscious, template for many modern stories --Serenity 11:42, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

I can't quite place the slant here either, though I like having a central point for the mythological references. Perhaps the page would work better as a general Mythology page listing the current Greek, followed by non Greek references? I can think of both Roman and Norse mythology referenced in the show and there isn't an easy way to find them right now. I think that might be a bit more neutral. Tyrus 14:52, 7 December 2006 (CST)

A very good point, Tyrus. A general mythology page would, in my view, work better than what we have currently. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 22:31, 7 December 2006 (CST)
