Move request
Demetrius Phalereus → Demetrius of Phalerum — The present name is a piece of early nineteenth century Latin; the target is what the subject is now usually called in English. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:43, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

messy paragraph?
"His literary merits are not confined to what he wrote, for he was a man of a practical turn of mind, and not a merely a scholar. Whatever he learned or knew was applied to the practical business of life; for example, the performance of tragedy had fallen into disuse in Athens, on account of the great expense involved; and in order to afford the people less costly and yet intellectual amusement, he caused the Homeric and other poems to be recited on the stage by rhapsodists.[18]"

I am going to rewrite this. "His literary merits are not confined to what he wrote" is contradiction in terms, isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bazuz (talk • contribs) 07:37, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
