I've added some more information and have included my references. Mainly, I've added the bit about how Achelous looked like (at least according to myth), and have added a bit more about the myths and legends surrounding him. Ekpardo 02:34, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

"He was also considered a storm-god." This has been in the text since the Stone Age. I doubt that a rivergod is a stormgod (it doesn't work in the Greek vision of the hydrological cycle, but seems modern: "rains fill the rivers, right?" Can anyone come up with a scrap of quote to link Achelous to a storm? --Wetman 02:29, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• I couldn't find any references for this either, and I think it might be a good idea to delete this reference. Ekpardo 02:34, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Eleven months' notice should be enough. Out it goes. --Wetman 14:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
