Contested prod. This is a hoax, about a supposed legend about Thessaly in the Trojan war. There is no evidence that this legend exists at all; three sources are included, but none of them support the legend (and neither does anything else). Two sources don't support the text they're next to; and the remaining one supports the accurate but irrelevant assertion that there was a family named Skaranos some millennia later.

• Strong delete. There's no truth in the piece. All attempts to elicit a WP:RS from the contributors were met with deletion of tags, obfuscation and the addition of false sources with no relevance to the article. --Old Moonraker (talk) 22:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per nominator. Edward321 (talk) 23:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete "Most of this story has been put together by images depicted on pottery from Thessaly" is not enough. Citation of sources that don't support the article means it is probably a hoax, but in any case unverifiable. JohnCD (talk) 10:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Google search for the names "Skaranos" and "Martanas" together yields only this article, which seems unlikely for a real mythological subject. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
