1. "Clymene, Phaethon's mother, laments that Helios has destroyed her child".
Why?
2. Phaethusa and Lampetia are either daughters of Clymene or Neaera so they should be listed under Clymene which appears before Neaera or should be listed under both Clymene and Neaera.
3. "According to Homer - late 8th/ early 7th century BC: Abraxas, *Therbeeo."
What is "*" exactly?
If the horses were four what are the names of the other two?
4. "According to Eumelus of Corinth - late 7th/ early 6th century BC: The male trace horses are Eous (by him the sky is turned) and Aethiops (as if faming, parches the grain) and the female yoke-bearers are Bronte ("Thunder") and Sterope ("Lightning")."
Bronte and Sterope sound very familiar with two other characters in Greek mythology. Is it purely a coincidence?
5. Aeetes is mentioned 3 times in the "Notes" section. I believe the spelling should be corrected to Aeëtes.

Going based off the guidelines set by Wikipedia, your contribution to the article complies with their rules and restrictions: you included an unbiased relation of information, you provided sources and maintained a neutral I am not sure whether you chose to write about the Helios in the context that its written in this article. This article doesn't necessarily correlate with the branches of civic technology. I'm assuming that you meant to write about the Helios group that Barbara Simmons discussed in class. The Helios Group is more related to civic technology being that, as Barbara explained, was a hacking formula that could affect voting machines. However, if in fact you did decide to write pertaining to Helios, the Greek God then you achieved your goal.

In recent years, Helios (in particular, his busts) has become a popular symbol for the Vaporwave art/media subculture. Would that be worth mentioning somewhere here, perhaps in a "In popular media" section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.19.203.125 ( talk) 18:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Avilich: Since I don't want to start an editing war in the article, is there a strong reason to oppose the inclusion of romanization and translation parts of the language template? Various other articles on non-English characters include this, and I see no reason to delete this info, especially since it's included in a footnote and not the summary itself. I see you have deleted it in several other Greek mythology articles, and I myself do not agree with the deletion of information that can be useful to certain people, especially those who cannot read non-Latin alphabets.

@ Piccco: Is there a reason for moving all of that information out of the note? It makes the lead much less readable in my opinion. – Michael Aurel ( talk) 21:34, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Read Greek new testament. Αποκάλυψη or the apocalypse of John. 75.73.228.105 ( talk) 16:45, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Which image should be in the lead?
