Talk:Thalia (Muse)

Bad Maths

First sentence contains bad maths: Thalia can refer to four distinct entities in Greek mythology, two of whom were daughters of Zeus, and a third of whom bore him sons.

Unless a third of a woman bore Zeus sons, it is not proper and must be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrBogdanovic (talk • contribs) 01:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to do it myself, if I actually knew the author was trying to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrBogdanovic (talk • contribs) 03:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Jimbo: It's been several years now since I opened this forum of discussion and the error still remains unaddressed. Please get in touch. DrBogdanovic (talk • contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 17:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC).

THALIA THE MEXICAN SINGER WHO IS MARRIED TO TOMMY MOTTOLA THE EX HUSBAND OF MARIAH CAREY -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.143.185.82 (talk • contribs) on 31 August 2005

After the words "to bloom": Could someone who actually knows clean up the phrasing? This is very confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.3.242 (talk • contribs) on 4 November 2005

Where is the singer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xhamlliku (talk • contribs) on 16 November 2005

Use the disambiguation link at the top of this page to find the Mexican singer (Thalia Sodi). 138.69.160.1 17:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Thalia, the singer, really should be listed on the first page, IMO, because of her enormous popularity in the U.S. and around the world. Seems kind of weird to list several different things but put her on the disambiguation list. 67.10.149.205 09:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I've never heard of her, so she can't be that popular. Besides, in a few years, no one will even know the singer's name, but the study of Greek mythology has been going on for millennia. :P IrisWings 09:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

This page looks like it needs a complete rewrite... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.106.255 (talk • contribs) on 4 October 2006

Renaming

This should probably have Thalia as the main article title, as it currently redirects here. Ziggurat 00:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

HI

There should probably be an additional page for the greek muse Thaleia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.11.222.145 (talk • contribs) 4 October 2006

There really isn't enough information about her to warrant her own separate page. IrisWings 09:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

The Muse

I'm not entirely sure the explanation of the meaning of Thalia in Albanian is in the same tone as the rest of the entry. Should the explanation be re-written or perhaps moved to another section of the article? Datsun Eleven 19:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Datsun Eleven

How many, now?

From the intro:

Thalia can refer to four distinct entities in Greek mythology, two of whom were daughters of Zeus, and a third of whom bore him sons.

Supposedly, Thalia has four meanings, but only three are listed. Is the total wrong, or has someone been skipped? -Bbik^★ 05:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

"...holding a comic mom..."

The article says "Thalia was portrayed holding a comic mom, a shepherd’s staff, or a wreath of ivy."

What exactly is a "comic mom" as used in this context. Obviously some kind of object but what?

Percy Jackson & and the Olympians -- {{cleanup-section}} tag added

Besides the poor grammar and complete lack of citations this section is essentially way off-topic as written. With cleanup however I suspect there is room for it as follows:

I moved the level 2 section "Percy Jackson & and the Olympians" down to level 3 and started a new level 2 section over it called "Thalia in modern literature". I do not know much about such literature but I can easily see that the original section is (a) unencyclopedic / off-topic unless somehow cross-related to the topic of literature. I wager a guess that there are probably numerous references to all of the muses in modern literature but I am not the expert in these subjects so I am pointing out an obvious flaw and hoping someone can run with it.

On second thought ... as I write this ... this section might be appropriate to include in some kind of a list like "List of Classic Greek Muses found in Modern Art" which could include various movies and books and paintings. I think I will move this section there and create a See Also section in its place. 66.102.199.176 (talk) 17:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Since the Thalia in Percy Jackson's last name is Grace, one can assume she is more likely a modern literary usage of Thalia the Charity or Grace than Thalia the Muse. They are two different entities. 72.243.192.113 (talk) 11:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
