	Given everything in ''Odyssey'', might it be a good idea to separate the Isu from the Greek deities? Given lack of evidence that it was actually the Isu Jupiter going around trying to bonk anything that moved, and actually the counterevidence that it was the Kretan Bull that caused the Minotaur, it would be certainly worth it to consider, imo.

	In any case, the divine characters within Greek mythology which are based on the Isu can be mentioned in their own sections in an article under Greek mythology or Greek religion.

			:Yeah, if at all possible, Isu and deity pages should be one and the same, IMO, with mythology being under legacy. As for the thing with Poseidon's page claiming him to be both Zeus' and Hades' brother, I've edited the page with the best, in-universe references to Poseidon being siblings with anyone (Pluto/Hades/Aita, in this case, as per ''ACII''). — [[User:Zero-ELEC\|Zero-ELEC]] ([[User talk:Zero-ELEC\|talk]]) 02:37, November 18, 2018 (UTC)

	I personally prefer the Isu and deity pages to be one and the same where the deity is only described in the lead in terms of being a deity if we only know it as a deity in the series (e.g. Sekhmet, Ra). If we know it as an Isu, then it makes sense for the Isu's deification to be described in a legacy section. I think this is more consistent with how we organize pages about characters and their legacies; hypothetically, if Desmond had chosen to allow the world to be destroyed and got deified, it would make more sense for his deification to be covered in a legacy section, no? This would also be consistent with how Wikipedia only has one article for {{wiki\|Guan Yu}} and his deified version as the Chinese God of War.

	I should point out that the page at {{wiki\|Historical Jesus}} is not separate from the page at {{wiki\|Jesus}} to distinguish the historical and religious Jesus, but rather Jesus and the historiographical study of Jesus and that it was most likely split off ~~simpl~~ because it was too large to be kept on the article of "Jesus" any longer. Standard wiki procedure allows for the branching off of a subject into a different article for the sole reason that it has become too extensive.

	==Separation of Isu and deities==		==Separation of Isu and deities==
	Given everything in ''Odyssey'', might it be a good idea to separate the Isu from the Greek deities? Given lack of evidence that it was actually the Isu Jupiter going around trying to bonk anything that moved, and actually the counterevidence that it was the Kretan Bull that caused the Minotaur, it would be certainly worth it to consider, imo.

	:I suggest having a section in the Isu person's article detailing how they influenced certain cultures' mythology instead of having separate pages. IE on Jupiter’s page have a section called ''Influence on Hellenistic religions'' (Greek/Roman/Etruscan) with all the facts about him from a mythological standpoint mentions in the games.

	:::My theory behind Aita being Juno's husband is because they might also be Osiris and Isis. Same reason why Hephaestus is older than Juno because he’s actually Ptah or Voltumna. The reason we can’t mention that Aita and Jupiter are brothers is because we don’t know that. We know they are portrayed as such in mythology but as I said over time things get, lost, confused, and changed, but I don’t feel it means we need new pages for them as deities. I think a section in the Greek religion page and a section in their Isu basis is sufficient. However I do feel we should get other editors to weigh in on this.

	:::Same would go if Juno and Jupiter were variants of Osiris and Isis, for Hera and Zeus were siblings, too. Lacking a mention in-game hasn't stopped people in this wiki from claiming Poseidon and Hades as Jupiter and Juno's brother, even if under the names of Zeus and Hera. Which highlights my point.

	:::Unless they are framing it from a mythological stand point, those people are in the wrong to say anyone is Jupiter’s brother as we don’t know if he even had siblings. But if they say that "Jupiter as depicted in Greek myths was considered the brother of Hades, Poseidon, etc." then I think that is fine but again would fall under a section either called Legacy or Influence on Hellenistic religion. As an aside I have Aita and Osiris be counterparts since they were both Underworld deities being syncretized to form Serapis (well Hades and Osiris were).
