morrowindEdit

Should we add the things that mara give to the player in the imperial cult to the artifact that she created — Unsigned comment by Vvardfell (talkcontribs) on 21 October 2010

Good idea. Also for the Zenithar artifacts you mentioned elsewhere. rpeh •TCE 11:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Love???Edit

I thought the godess of love was dibella — Unsigned comment by Nordico982 (talkcontribs) at 18:56 on March 15, 2011

The gods are not singular focused entities. Their spheres cover broad areas not entirely comprehended by mortals. Dibella could be seen as covering love, by a limiting perspective. I find that this is very similar to the Greek gods in real life. For example, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, civilization, warfare, strength, strategy, crafts, justice and skill. --DKong27 Talk Cont 00:05, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
The sort of love Mara is the goddess of is more along the lines of familial devotion. Dibella is more along the lines of Passion. Think of Mara as being more akin to Hera and Dibella being more like Aphrodite. --73.232.146.130 09:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

belgaraid and malloreanEdit

Is it relevant that Mara shares their name with a deity from these two series of books? Andil the mage 11:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

This crossed my mind as well. In the Belgariad and the Malloreon, Mara is a god obsessed with fertility. I believe mentioning this as a possible reference to Eddings' books would be in order. 88.195.12.107 15:01, 5 March 2013 (GMT)

MaraEdit

Is it worth mentioning, as a piece of trivia in the article, that Mara shares her name with one of the handful of animals which mate for life?--184.151.118.47 08:49, 2 January 2013 (GMT)

Validity of Mara/Nir associationEdit

Is there a source for this? Nir is normally seen as wife to Anu which takes place outside the Dream/Aurbis. If there is something that makes the connection (other than they're both motherly beings) then that would be cool. Generally, they are very different entities. — Unsigned comment by Sothas (talkcontribs) at 17:55 on 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Mara and the KothringiEdit

I have removed the mention of Zenithar as that god is not relevant to Mara in the context of the Kothringi. In The Water-getting Girl and the Inverse Tiger, Mara is mentioned as one of the "mothers in the Around-Us". The "mothers in the Around-Us" include Mara, Dibella, and Kynareth. Therefore, both Dibella and Kynareth deserve mention in this article as they form part of this small group. Zenithar, however, does not form part of this group and is just another god in the Kothringi pantheon, and the article doesn't have to mention every member of every pantheon. Bagpuss (talk) 10:24, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Zenithar is so far the only other god who along with the Mothers are known to make up the Kothringi pantheon. If he is so, I believe it is in its place to have some kind of notification the that the Mothers are not the only three gods in the pantheon, in contrast to how the present text can be interpreted. —MortenOSlash (talk) 04:29, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
I've changed the wording to reflect that there were multiple gods in the Kothringi pantheon. Bagpuss (talk) 10:30, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
I think you got it there. A functioning solution. —MortenOSlash (talk) 17:38, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Alessia consulting with Mara for slave revolt?Edit

(Mythology section) I don't want to (nor do I know how, at the moment) re-number the whole footnote section, but Alessia did not consult *Mara* before her slave revolt; the footnote references the Song of Pelinal Vol. 2, which shows Alessia (Perrif) consulting *Kyne*. At least, the link which "Handmaiden" points to on the Song of Pelinal Vol. 2 page is a link to the Lore:Kyne page. —Morrowfest (talk) 05:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
