Isn't the Malaclypse of Illuminatus!, the ancient philosopher dude, supposed to be Malaclypse the Elder? It's been a while since I read the book...

I believe both Malaclypsi appeared in the book, the elder and the younger.

[edit] Pope?

I'm removing this bit about the polyfather being equivalent to Pope because I think it's entirely untrue. Unless you mean =Pope=, and that's only true because all Discordians are =Pope='s. If someone can offer some argument for it, please put it back in. bmearns, KSC(talk) 16:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elder the Father?

I don't recall the Mal the Elder being the father of Mal-2, but I'll double check. If anyone has any information one way or the other, please note it here and update the article if neccessary. bmearns, KSC(talk) 16:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Identity

I do not think there remains any serious dispute over the identity of Malaclypse the Younger as Greg Hill. The theories regarding Timothy Leary and Richard Nixon were mentioned in Robert Anton Wilson's foreword to Principia Discordia ed.4, and can not be found in any primary source other than that; and at least the latter is obviously a joke. Greg Hill is never named in the newer editions of Principia Discordia (except in the afterword), but in the recently-uncovered First Edition, he and Kerry Thornley identify themselves by name. I think the section about his identity should be reworded to express it as a purely historical debate; it's all but certain by now. --Adam Atlas 16:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
