Dione

• No, she is not a "mother goddess" in any context of written myth or ritual, save as mother of Aphrodite in one ref. in the Iliad.
• "Her importance" is not in fact "attested at several cult sites of great antiquity" other than at Dodona.

I have quoted Pausanias' remarks at Acriae (Cybele, not Dione) and have tried to keep all the recent improvements. --Wetman (talk) 19:18, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

• • her parents were Oceanus and Tethys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.211.140.204 (talk) 02:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Your English is fine. You just have to remember that there are multiple origin myths for Aphrodite. If this one isn't in the Iliad, though, we should fix that. The current article is a bit of a mess. — LlywelynII 06:11, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

"Dione could control atoms, of which everything is made." I suggest it should be removed. There is no reference of it. 203.81.67.183 (talk) 08:34, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Dione's Domain as a Goddess

In numerous different references, she has been called goddess of earth (soil), moisture, moist soil, doves and the oak tree. Shouldn't these be added here? I have the sources. The Penultimate (talk) 04:36, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Please give the sources, it could be interesting. Michael! (talk) 20:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Mother of Aphrodite

Yes, (according to Homer) Dione is the mother of Aphrodite and yes, she lives on Mount Olympus. Have a look at the Iliad V, 370-371. Michael! (talk) 20:49, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Interesting Source Discussing Ancient Cult

I recently came across this source which has a lot of interesting information. It attests that Dione was worshipped as a wife of Zeus before he and Hera were considered married. I am thinking of adding this information to the article, but would like a second opinion.
