Wasn't Pisces Aphrodite and Eros?Firio (talk) 16:58, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your myth is in Hyginus Poeticon astronomicon, but Hyginus Fabulae has the legend of the fishes carrying Aphrodite's egg.

However, I added the egg version to Pisces (constellation), and deleted it from Ichthyocentaur where it doesn't belong.

The inference that Hygnius's fishes were Ichthyocentaurs belongs to theoi.com[1], and web-published theories aren't admissible.--Kiyoweap (talk) 13:37, 11 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Syrian deities Dagon and Astarte

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I also removed the Dagon-Astarte statement added here by JohnAlbertRigali.
This is derivative of Theoi Project's hypothesis about "Fish-Deities of Syrian mythology which carried Ashtarte ashore after her birth", and not WP:RS sourced.

John does makes a plausible surmise that the "Fish-Deities" in this context refers to the Syrian merman-god Dagon.
However the "Dagon" entry merely associates the god with Astarte-Atargatis, not with her birth, says nothing about him being an Ichthyocentaur.
So this is just side-footnoting added and not a source to back the whole statement.

Also the generic connection of mermen with Dagon and Atargatis is not novel at all, and given by Waugh (1960, JSTOR 1258382).[2] -- modified, Kiyoweap (talk) 02:07, 12 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
