Version[edit]

The article says "One version is that Aphrodite pretended to be a Phrygian princess and seduced him for nearly two weeks of lovemaking." What's the source for this version? ICE77 (talk) 05:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aphrodite/Venus[edit]

Shouldn't Venus be used instead of Aphrodite, since Anchises figures more prominently in Roman mythology? 64.79.43.183 (talk) 18:32, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think your point is valid in so far as he is perhaps best known in popular mythology for his place in the Roman genealogical scheme and the Aeneid, but he is a prominent figure in Greek mythology first and foremost. The vast majority of ancient texts that mention him are Greek, and the currency of the Roman side of things on the street will be from traditions below the Aeneid-crook in the hourglass of the mythographical corpus. I'd stick with Aphrodite, and Venus and Rome are already prominent enough in this small article. ^davidiad _.:τ 19:26, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's a prominent figure in Roman legend first and foremost, but there's no reason to use interpretatio graeca for talking about the Homeric hymns. — LlywelynII 04:38, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Project[edit]

Hi all. I am going to be editing this article for a college course. I plan to add citations for the material that does not have clear citations or delete the material if I cannot identify the source. I will also be adding two sections containing more detailed information about Anchises. The first section will be about Anchises in the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. The second section will be about Anchises in the Aeneid. VJKTK5 (talk) 21:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)VJKTK5[reply]

Pronunciations[edit]

Well, Wikipedia is WP:NOTADICTIONARY and pronunciations usually go at Wiktionary entries. That said, it's probably useful for our readers to learn that this is the hard Grecian /kʰ/ and not the usual /tʃ/ they might be expecting. That said, there's absolutely no reason to have the (unsourced, supposed) ancient Greek pronunciation /aŋkʰíːsɛːs/ here instead of at Wiktionary. Anyone wanting to delve that deeply into linguistics should head over there where they can break it down by Attic, Koine, dialect, etc. — LlywelynII 04:35, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The ancient Greeks pronounced the name "Anchises" actually: /ɑːnˈkiːseɪz/ but /aŋkʰíːsɛːs/ is the correct pronunciation as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Correct-44 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, /ɑːnˈkiːseɪz/ or /ɑːnˈkiːseɪs/ is about as close as you can get to the original pronunciation if you're an American (but they don't actually say it like that). It's not a Greek pronunciation. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 14:33, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
