I think Plutus the play should be moved back to Plutus (play). I'll take care of it soon if there are no objections. - Ravenous 18:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
I would like to know about symbols of Plutus.
Where is actual information of Plutus?! You guys need to do a better job. BETCHES! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.198.56 ( talk) 18:17, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Plutus is a Romanization of Ploutos, a greek god of harvest riches. Pluto is the Roman god over underworld. Said: Rursus ☻ 09:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
No merge, Plutus and Pluto are clearly different deities. -- FordPrefect42 ( talk) 08:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I've removed the following from the lead as needing qualification and context:
And I've replaced it with the orginal:
The bald statement that Plutus was the son of "either the son of Demeter and Iasion, ... or the child of Hades and Persephone" is problematic. It mentions a parentage that (as far as I can tell) is never given for Plutus directly, but only indirectly via a supposed identification of Plutus with Brimos (who is more usually identified with Iacchus).
And, as written, gives undo weight to, a at best rarely mentioned parentage. For example, the only parents given in the several secondary sources I've checked so far, are Demeter and Iasion. While this obscure parentage might be worth a mention somewhere in the article, along with the appropriate qualification and context, it does not belong here, and in this way.
I was hoping that Plutus could be added to the "Residents" section of the Greek underworld Template. Seeing as he is believed to be a son of Hades it only makes sense that he was probably born in the Underworld, or at the very least spent some time there.
