Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Achilles and Patroclus — The LORE section states 'Achilles sleeps next to Diomedes while Patroclus sleeps next to Iphis.' In the Iliad, Achilles sleeps with Diomede (a woman), not Diomedes (son of Tydeus).

Acis and Galatea — Homer does not mention Galatea by name in the Iliad or Odyssey; she is not named in Homer's works. Hesiod's Theogony lists the Nereids but does not single out Galatea as 'the fairest.'

Acis and Galatea — In Iliad 18, Thetis is surrounded by her Nereid sisters, but Galatea is not named among them in the Homeric text.

Aloadae — The entry states the Aloadae grew 'nine fingers every month' and reached 'nine fathoms tall at age nine.' The standard myth says they grew nine cubits in width and nine fathoms in height each year, not per month, and were nine cubits broad and nine fathoms tal

Amphion and Zethus — The entry states Amphion's lover Hermes gave him a lyre; in standard myth, Hermes gave the lyre to Amphion, but they are not typically described as lovers.

Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi — The claim that Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi originally had eight daughters, with seven eaten one per year, is incorrect because the Kojiki does not specify 'one per year'.

Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi — The claim that Tenazuchi is also called Gendayū and protects travelers on the Tōkaidō road is not supported by the Kojiki or widely-known Japanese mythology.

Ashvins — The entry states the Ashvins' individual names are Nāsatya and Dasra, but in Vedic tradition, Nāsatya and Dasra are collective epithets for the pair, not consistently assigned individual names; the Rigveda does not give them separate personal names.

Ashvins — The claim that the Ashvins 'rule over... the sciences' is anachronistic and not found in Vedic texts; the Rigveda associates them with healing, rescue, and dawn, not a broad category like 'sciences'.

Belet-Šuḫnir and Belet-Terraban — The claim that a temple dedicated to both goddesses existed in Uruk is not supported by established canon; no known temple to Belet-Šuḫnir and Belet-Terraban is attested in Uruk in reliable sources.

Belet-Šuḫnir and Belet-Terraban — The claim that Belet-Terraban is attested in a single inscription from Susa dating to the reign of Puzur-Inšušinak is inaccurate because the inscription actually mentions both goddesses together, not Belet-Terraban alone.

Boreads — The claim that the Boreads' hair could lift them into the air or that they boasted about their curls is not supported by any known canonical source.

Boreads — The description of 'dusky wings shimmering with golden scales' is not attested in any standard Greek mythographic source.
