Thed or Malia?

A recent GTA post says the following of Ron's article in Daedalus:

. . . Finally, Ron Edwards' insightful article in the Daedelus online zine http://www.chimera.info/daedalus/ was of course about _Malia_, Mother of Disease, not Thed.

I'm perplexed; I'm pretty sure Ron would not have had this 2-year gaming saga based on an erroneous understanding of what god is who, but this is about as official as it gets (or at least, it's official-coloured). Anyone know the scoop, or why these goddesses might easily be confused?

Hi JB,

Stephen was overly tired. He's sent out a correction, noting that it was, in fact, about Thed.

That's weird, because I read the article & it was very definitely about Thed, the Goddess of Rape, not Malia the Goddess of Disease.

The only reason I can think of for confusing the two is they are both part of the "Unholy Trinity" that (if I'm remembering correctly) killed Rashoran.

EDIT: Crossposted with Thor. Okay, it was a simple mistake. Cool.
