Anchises Peer Review[edit]
Good afternoon,
The section "The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite" is very concise and put together well. I enjoyed how much detail you involved so it walked the reader through the content. I noticed on the talk page you mentioned you would be adding more but did you mean more to that section? I felt like it ended abruptly, which is why I was wondering. It is a great article and I think you covered what needed to be. If that is how you planned the ending to be it makes sense, my only suggestion would be expand on the final sentences.
Great addition, really strengthens the page.

Comments on article[edit]
- I'd definitely add an ancient image of Aeneas carrying Anchises -- there are about a billion to be found. :)
- I'm not sure the Julius Caesar thing belongs under 'see also' -- you might think of a new type of section to add.
- We've had a couple of mentions of Anchises in the Metamorphoses that you can add.
- Maybe worth adding something about his ABSENCE in the Iliad? http://www.jstor.org.proxy.mul.missouri.edu/stable/311164
- Think about whether there are a few passages that you want to quote, rather than just citing, for effect. Also, when you cite, you should cite specific passages rather than the epic at large. (It's like answering "How do I get to Shakespeare's Pizza?" with "Go to Columbia.")
- I'd add mention of the eulogy for Marcellus to the Book 6 passage. Also, Anchises doesn't just lead them out of the Underworld, he leads them through the famous gates of ivory and horn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_of_horn_and_ivory
- in the Homeric Hymn, *why* does Aphrodite mention the other two relationships?
