Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Zeus — The entry states 'Dione, his consort at the oracle of Dodona, bore him Ap' but cuts off mid-word; the intended claim is likely that Dione bore him Aphrodite, but the *Iliad* does not state that Dione bore Aphrodite to Zeus (Aphrodite's parentage varies, and in

Zeus — The LORE section says 'Zeus was raised on Mount Aegaion (or Aegaeon) in Crete.' This is incorrect: Hesiod's *Theogony* says Zeus was hidden in a cave on Mount Aegaeon (or Aigaion), but the mountain is not named 'Aegaion' as a place of raising; the standard loc

Hera — Hera's role as protector of women during childbirth is not a primary or widely-attested function in canonical myth; she is more often depicted as hostile to pregnant women.

Poseidon — The entry states that Poseidon was a principal deity at Pylos and Thebes in the Bronze Age, but Linear B tablets show he was the chief god at Pylos, not Thebes.

Poseidon — The entry says 'the words for horses and springs are related' in Greek, but the standard Greek word for spring is 'krene', which is not etymologically related to 'hippos'.

Hades — The entry states Hades was 'the last of his siblings to be regurgitated by his father' in the INTRO, but the correct canon is that Zeus was the last sibling regurgitated by Cronus.

Hades — The INTRO claims 'In Plato’s *Cratylus*, Socrates argues for a folk etymology linking it not to “unseen” but to “knowledge of all noble things.”' This is inaccurate; Socrates presents both interpretations, not one instead of the other.

Athena — The entry states that Athens 'lent its name to the goddess,' but the widely-known canon holds that the city was named after Athena, not the other way around.

Apollo — The entry states 'Apollo is credited with the invention of archery, along with his sister Artemis.' In widely-known canon, archery is not typically attributed as an invention of Apollo or Artemis; they are simply depicted as skilled archers.

Apollo — The entry states 'Apollo was often identified with Helios, the personification of the Sun, from the 5th century BCE.' While syncretism occurred later, the identification of Apollo with Helios became prominent primarily in the Hellenistic period (from the 4th c

Hermes — The entry states that Hermes's symbols include 'several kinds of fish,' which is not a widely recognized or canonical attribute of Hermes in standard Greek mythology.

Hermes — The entry claims that the caduceus is described as 'a winged staff intertwined with two snakes copulating.' While the caduceus does feature two snakes intertwined, the specific detail of them 'copulating' is not part of the standard mythological description an

Demeter — The entry states as fact that Demeter's name appears in Linear A as 'da-ma-te', but Linear A is undeciphered and this identification is speculative, not established canon.
