OK, JoshuaZ put a fact tag on this (good catch, btw), but I've decided to move it here for discussion:
The passage from CoD in question is this:
Since both the mythico-historical Agamemnon and the Titan Agamemnon are Atreides ancestors (according to "Expanded Canon" at least), the reference is ambiguous at best. As such, the statement above cannot be allowed into the article as is. (Who added this, anyway? I'm going to check the article history after saving.) -- SandChigger 19:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
how about the rest of the 12 that wasn't written? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.169.125 ( talk) 06:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
The names of the "Titans" always crack me up. Tlaloc was an Aztec rain god, Xerxes a Persian ruler, Dante an Italian poet, Barbarossa...what, a Frankish king? Pirate? Whatever. They couldn't even be bothered to carry through with the conceit and use the names of the actual Titans from Greek myth.
It's really painful how hard they still try to forge some epic link with mythology. (There's a really strained reference to Scylla and Charybdis in Paul of Dune as well. I guess we're supposed to conclude they've read the Odyssey, too?)
Anyway, lest I waffle on forever, let me come to the point: The bit about Tlaloc naming himself after an ancient god comes straight from The Butlerian Jihad:
I see no problem with incorporating this into the article. ??? -- SandChigger ( talk) 00:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
