So can we say ichor is like pus or a type of exudate? I'm looking for a direct modern reference here if possible.--Cpt ricard (talk) 05:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section regarding Talos had been headed "In robotics". Whether a legendary man made of bronze is more or less equivalent to the modern concept of a robot is up for debate, but I'm certain the idea was foreign to the ancients, and flatly recounting a myth as a case study in engineering is... idiosyncratic, to put it charitably. I changed the section to In classical myth, and consolidated most of the intro paragraph (re: gods) into that section. Lusanaherandraton (talk) 16:06, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was considered to be golden in color, as well as lethally toxic to mortals.

Iliad doesn't mention it IIRC, it's definitely not mentioned in the 5th song and AFAIK at all there.217.118.64.53 (talk) 08:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've always seen ichor defined as "colorless", can't find any source from Greek Mythology that actually mentions its appearance though, not sure if it was associated with yellow bile from the start or if that's a medieval/modern/internet-age add-on, will have to research.

Ichor also appeared in the video game Shovel Knight, given by the character the Troupple King. Different color/flavors give different effects in said game. D-Boy Wheeler
