[edit] Removed

Removed the Naruto reference. Killing an entire village hardly constitutes as parricide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsunekuni (talk • contribs) 17:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parricide v. Patricide

Parricide and Patricide are different:

par·ri·cide Audio pronunciation of "Parricide" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-sd) n.

  1. The of one's father, mother, or other near relative.
  2. One who commits such a murder.

Parricide is the killing/murder of ones parents (or one who commits such an act). Patricide is the killing/murdering of ones father (specifically). I am spplitting the parricide and patricide articles.

[edit] Mysterious Roman Punishment

Ancient Rome had a unique punishment for parricide, which is described in gruesome detail in Steven Saylor's novel Roman Blood

Please describe. Ireneshusband 23:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

from http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12565a.htm

He who killed a father or mother, grandfather or grandmother, was punished, more majorum (according to the custom of the fathers) by being whipped till he bled, sewn up in a sack with a dog, cock, viper, and ape, and thrown into the sea, if the sea was at hand, and if not, by a constitution of Hadrian, he was exposed to wild beasts, or, in the time of Paulus, to be burnt.

Could someone please provide a reliable source for this? It sounds like utter nonsense.--345Kai 22:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
