Liber's consort[edit]

In the sources I have access to (The Oxford Classical Dictionary (1968), for example), Libera is the consort of Liber Pater (aka Liber) and an associate of Ceres. This is at least partially confirmed in the very first sentence of the article on the Liberalia.

I don't have access to Michael Jordan's Encyclopedia of Gods (which I assume is the source, judging from its citation in the article on Libera), but I wonder how far it's regarded as authoritative. TonySever (talk) 15:42, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article on the Liberalia is not in any condition to be cited as an authority for any information on this page: the entry for Liberalia is utterly lacking in attribution and citation. In needs to be weed-whacked, trimmed and propped up by proper reference to authority. Wish I could help, but I'm just neophyte at this.Jasmith.sdsu (talk) 16:29, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rewriting[edit]

First off, apologies to ~~Peter Cohen~~ (Sorry - Paul August, damn, that's embarrassing), who I see has put in some recent work here. I've made some changes using material already prepared on a user-page; for some reason I didn't have the article on my watchlist (a double-duffer). Plenty more work is needed.

note 7[edit]

I would suggest breaking up what is currently footnote 7 into at least two parts. We have to read too far past the direct quote ("copy and antithesis") to get to the attribution. You might also want to anticipate a "who" tag after "variously described by modern historians". Cynwolfe (talk) 14:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Preempted; thanks for that. Haploidavey (talk) 15:06, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
