Talk:Mene (goddess)

Merge with Selene?

Should this be its own article? Mene is identified with Selene (by late antiquity, Mene is just an epithet of Selene), should it just redirect to Selene? This page was changed from Menae, which appear to be slightly different entities (well, Wiktionary says there were 50 of them and they were the children of Selene).

Making this a redirect to Selene is a possibility. The only secondary reference to this goddess, as apparently separate from Selene—that I'm aware of—is the one given in the article. For a long discussion about some of the issues involved here see: Talk:Selene#Menae, Menai?. In particular note that Wiktionary is not a WP:RS, and I suspect that the Wiktionary entry is probably based upon the unreliable theoi.com. Per the linked discussion, while Selene is said to have had fifty daughters by Endymion, possibly representing the fifty lunar months of the Olympiad (see Selene), there seems to be no RS that they were called the "Menae".

Not a different goddess

In HH32tS, Apol.Rhod.'s Argon. and Phocylidea it's pretty obvious "Mene" is just another name for the moon goddess, why have a separate article? It seems only DoGaRBaM treats them as two entities. Deiadameian (talk) 16:48, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
