Could you be more specific? Those two words seem rather ambiguous. 75.48.26.44 ( talk) 05:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
I deleted the See Also link to Achilles because I couldn't figure out any reason why the two articles should be linked. technopilgrim 23:33, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Perhaps it would be good to mention some references to Talos in later literary works? For example, it's mentioned in Edmund Spenser's "Faerie Queene", and is used as the name of an steam engine in William Golding's short story "Envoy Extraordinary". 193.77.93.167 15:45, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
The following former reference is over 100 years out of date: " E. Pottier, who does not dispute the historical personality of Minos, in view of the story of Phalaris considers it probable that in Crete (where a bull-cult may have existed by the side of that of the double axe) victims were tortured by being shut up in the belly of a red-hot brazen bull. That would be also the origin of the myth of the Minotaur." The article by E. Pottier in La Revue de Paris, February 1902 was noted in Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911, when Minoan studies (Sir Arthur Evans) were still in their infancy. The fantasy à la Gustave Flaubert's Salammbo is based on Moloch in Carthage, not in Crete. This is mumbo-jumbo... -- Wetman 12:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The word Zeus in Zeus Talos might not be a proper noun and it could simply mean god Talos and so Zeus and Talos might not be the same. Novo24 ( talk) 15:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)NOVO
Is the Latin name Talus cognate with the Talus bone? It appears apposite as his heel is his weak point. Totnesmartin ( talk) 17:44, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
