Comments

I changed the reference to Pluto/Hades, as it stated that the Romans created Pluto, or rather that they were at least the first to call him Pluto. This is a common misconception; the Romans simply used a less frequently used, alternate Greek name for Hades (albeit in the latinate form we use today).

Parentage

The article says that "Her parents were Oceanus and Tethys (thus making Plouto one of the 3000 Oceanids) or Himas". Should I interpret the parents of Plouto to be either Oceanus and Tethys or Oceanus and Himas or Himas alone? It's not quite clear.

I've removed "Her parents were Oceanus and Tethys (thus making Plouto one of the 3000 Oceanids)" from the article. The Oceanid (Plouto (Oceanid)) is different from this Plouto. Paul August ☎ 11:07, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
