Eri (goddess)
editThat's a nice start, but I wonder if you could've been writing about Ériu? If so, we should better merge your content into the old article. De728631 (talk) 23:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm, your source text by Lady Gregory speaks of "Eri, daughter of Delbaith", and you also wrote that Ernmas was her mother. However, both the articles on Delbáeth and Ernmas mention Ériu as their daughter, so I guess this is simply a matter of spelling. A single u can easily get lost in tradition and after all, Lady Gregory's text is a work of drama, not a scientific account of theology and archaelogy as we would need for an encyclopedic article about a goddess.
- On another note, please sign your contributions to Wiki talk pages at the end of your statement, not in the beginning. De728631 (talk) 23:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
