[edit] Deviations inconsistent

The 'deviations from the myth' section is difficult to make sense of, as most of the points begin with a statement. However, the opening statements are neither consistently describing the series, to be compared with the myth, or describing the myth, to be compared with the series. Either each point needs to explicitly state which facts are from which source, or the section needs to be re-written in the following :form

The series differs from the myth in the following ways:

• A, whereas in the myth, A'
• B,
• C...

This way, the introductory sentence before the list defines the series as the subject, removing ambiguity. --3DS Mike 16:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization conventions

I noticed that editors are creating Hercules episodes with full capitalization, ignoring Wikipedia's style guideline on capitalization. Please stop the full capitalization immediately and review the guidelines before creating any more episode articles. Because they appear to have been created in parallel with properly capitalized redirects, these bad titles cannot simply be moved to the correct versions. It is going to cause some problems for editors and sysops trying to fix these changes, and the more that have to be fixed, the more unhappy people you're going to have to deal with. ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I've made the easy title moves and have requested the harder changes at Wikipedia:Requested moves. When they're completed, I'll fix all the incorrect titles and links in the various articles. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Antagonist vs. Anti-hero

Antagonist definition noun

1. One who opposes and contends against another; an adversary.
2. The principal character in opposition to the protagonist or hero of a narrative or drama.

Antihero definition noun

1. A main character in a dramatic or narrative work who is characterized by a lack of traditional heroic qualities, such as idealism or courage.

Of these two definitions, antagonist clearly states an opposition to the protagonist.--NeilEvans 15:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heracles vs Hercules

Hercules is the ROMAN name for the son of Jupiter (Roman name for Zeus) and Alcmena. In Greek he was Heracles son of Zeus and Alcmene. The links should go to Heracles but be the name Hercules should show. It actually should be clarified in the first paragraph, but I'd be afraid to further confuse.

[edit] Xenaverse

Given that Xena's TV show was a spinoff to the Hercules shows, shouldn't related pages be under a Hercverse group? Metalb (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
