Only one ancient example is given (not counting the modern copies). Is there in fact only one example extant? 213.122.1.147 ( talk) 01:21, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Any particular reason why the adjective is not declined to be feminine? The name of this article reads as if an editor did a backwards calc of Callipygian Venus into transliterated Greek using the words supplied by Miriam Webster (where kallipygos is given as masculine, which is natural enough in isolation) and applied it without knowledge to Aphrodite. Applying a masculine adjective to a goddess is not good Greek, as far as I know. Rwflammang ( talk) 18:38, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
It is a compound adjective, so two-termination, as every schoolboy used to know (though the rule is not universal: e.g. athanatos in Sappho's Tithonus poem has a feminine form). Seadowns ( talk) 14:03, 16 November 2017 (UTC) Seadowns ( talk) 14:28, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
I've just inserted a different link that goes straight to the Brassens song lyrics, rather than to the home page of a site that now concentrates on video and karaoke. But I fail to see the relevance of the comment on La Fontaine in the text, or the lines in the Brassens song that correspond to the quote given at the end of the article. Ohuanam ( talk) 23:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
The French version of this page has a lengthy La Fontaine quote. I suspect a curtailed cross-reference has veiled the content. I'll rewrite the last para of the main article in English to reflect that. If anyone thinks that's inappropriate, say so! Ohuanam ( talk) 19:28, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Paragraph re-written with links to original texts (as notes) and clarification in text as to who references whom and which text is cited/quoted/translated. Hope everyone concurs! Ohuanam ( talk) 20:50, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
I have long been annoyed by the macaronic transliteration in the name of this article. Shouldn't it be pure Latin, Venus Callipyga, or pure Greek, Aphrodite Kallipygos (Callipygos)? Rwflammang ( talk) 00:08, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
