[edit] Deletes

• Hesperides
• Aegle
• Erytheia
• Hesperia

I don't know enough about the subject to know if User:201.10.22.27's delete was appropriate; I'm assuming it was, but I wanted to list these here just to be safe. --mordicai. 17:47, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personification of the Dangers of the Sea

I very much doubt that there is any evidence that Ceto was believed to be the personification of the dangers of the sea, unknown terrors and bizarre creatures in the ancient world. Unless any evidence can be provided that this statement is true then this should be removed. The Prime Source 11:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Dale

[edit] Sirens

Siren have been included in a list of the children of Ceto. Yet Apollodorus says that they are the children of Acheloios and Melpomene or Terpsichore. Pausanias says that they were children of Acheloios and Euripedes says that they are children of Gaia. They have also been described as daughters of Calliope and Phorcys. Unless a source is provided that the Sirens were daughters of Ceto the Sirens should be removed from the list of Ceto's children. The Prime Source 14:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Dale

[edit] Thoosa

Thoosa has been included in a list of Ceto's children. Homer says that Thoosa was a daughter of Phorcys and does not mention Ceto. Unless there is a source that describes Thoosa as Ceto's daughter is provided Thoosa should be removed from this list. The Prime Source 14:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Dale

[edit] Cetus

Cetus was, I believe, and entirely different sea creature. He was the monster sent by Poseidon to punish Cassiopeia.CheshireCatCO (talk) 22:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Clashtitans.jpg

Image:Clashtitans.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
