  • ... that in Greek mythology, Achilles promised to marry Pisidice if she would help him conquer her homeland, but afterwards he had her executed for treason?

  • This is a new article, that is long enough, is well sourced and free from any copyvio issues. No QPQ is required. The hook is interesting and works well as it is. The content of the hook is verified by the quoted source, and there are appropriate citations in the article in the right places. This is a nice article, accessible and interesting. Good to go!

    • @Chaiten1 and Deiadameian: this hook falls under WP:DYKFICTION and cannot run. I would suggest focusing another hook on a fact in the "Origins" or "Connections" sections. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 04:52, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
      • @AirshipJungleman29: Thank you for informing us. However given that now it's been more than seven days after the article's creation, nomination and (mistaken) approval that I'm being informed of its ineligibility, it is likely no longer suitable for DYK anyway.

Apologies for not having realised about DYKFICTION - happy to help workshop a new hook Chaiten1 (talk) 14:22, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Are we really applying DYKFICTION to mythology and legends now? I get the idea but that doesn't seem to follow the spirit of the guideline as originally proposed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Per the discussion on the talk page, IMO, this interpretation of DYKFICTION is a minority one and should not block the hook lest it become a naysayer's veto. The hook reads fine to me. DYKFICTION is about "creative works", i.e. novels or the like. Citing serious, scholarly mythology sources like Brill's New Paulys about the nature of mythology or folklore is not fiction. I would suggest the hook be approved as is. SnowFire (talk) 03:44, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
