The Achilles example is wrong.

Thetis dipped him into the River Styx to make him invulnerable/immortal; she wasn't trying to get rid of him. Ifnkovhg (talk) 22:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definition

This article needs to better define its subject. There isn't any actual explanation of what infant exposure is. bwmcmaste (talk) 01:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other examples that aren't infanticide

Neither of these are examples of infant exposure, which is intended as a method of infanticide:

- Moses was hidden in a basket made of papyrus by his mother to save him from being killed by Pharaoh's soldiers. His sister even followed the basket to see what would happened to him. That he was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter is pretty much stated to be part of God's plan to eventually lead his people out of slavery and away from Egypt. His biological mother is actually brought to nurse him at the advice of Moses' own sister. (Exodus 2:1-10)

- Momotaro is a mysterious child who was found inside a giant peach where the pit would usually be. He is implied in most versions of the story to be as a response to the prayers for children made by the elderly couple that found him and adopt him. There is nothing in the story about said child being abandoned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.11.159.32 (talk) 22:57, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
