Talk:Telchines

Etymology of Telchines

The name "Telchines' has the same root with name "Tarcon", a god of Anatolia.

Other names with same root are :

- Tarhuntassa, probably, southwest of Iconium (modern Konya), in central Asia Minor, capital of a Hittite state.

- Tyrrhenians (or Tyrrheni), a people lived in Asia Minor, who migrated to Etruria (according to ancient historian Herodotus).

- Tarcynia (or Tarcunia) city of Etruria, in Italy.

Is there a connection between the Telchines (Telkhines) and the term, telekinesis?

-no, because Telekinesis is from "tele", meaning 'far' and "kinesis" meaning movement. - a native Greek speaker :)

Halia

There's no mention here of Halia, described elsewhere as "sister of the Telchines" (eg Halia and http://www.theoi.com/Nymphe/NympheHalia.html) The Lesser Merlin (talk) 13:52, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Nine Telchines

I would like for someone to check it, but I would say that the nine Telchines of the one story mentioned make reference to Mediterranean monk seals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.57.181.115 (talk) 02:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Chalybes

These people too are supposedly from the Black sea and are iron workers. You'd do well, I suspect, to find the links between them. Catullus' translation of Callimachus' Lock of Berenice,(Catullus 66.48), talks of them, whereas Callimachus talks of the Telchines at Aetia 1.1 Vince Calegon 12:49, 19 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Calegon (talk • contribs)
