Talk:Ephor

Small edit, from unlogged user: Faustian-Leaguer; the dictation of the Spartan Constitution from the Greek Pythia to Lycurgus, is from section 4 rather than 5. Best, for scholarship sake, be specific about these references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.15.226.132 (talk) 06:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments
~"In Popular Culture" section is not necessary. The film 300 is a fictional narrative which does not warrant inclusion in the defining of Ephor. In this case, the ambiguity and subjective nature of a section entitled "In Popular Culture" turns into nothing more than trivia, lending nothing to the empirical definition.

ephors are the ones who are deciding when a baby can still be alive by putting them into test —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.85.148 (talk • contribs) 10:27, 12 August 2007

Ephorates Still Exist Under Hellenic Ministry of Culture
I landed on this page while searching for the address for the modern ephorates that act under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. The ones I recall are responsible for maintaining ancient and historical artifacts. I don't know much else but it seems to me that someone who knows about modern Greek culture and government should be able to describe how the office is used today.

300's inaccuracies
I think Frank Miller's blatant fabrications about the ephors in 300 should be cleared up here (they obviously weren't leperous, lecherous priests with Delphic oracles as their slaves). Sheavsey33 (talk) 09:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Peer Review Comments 1. The Lead Section A little short maybe look for more details that could beef up the Lead. Another suggestion for that would be to include a section where you talk briefly about what's going to be in the article just a quick overview so the reader knows what to expect. you did a great job with your opening sentence immediately defining who these men were and what they did as well as their relationship to the King. 2. Clarity of Article Structure I thought the structure of the article was good and the order you have your sections is great and it reads cohesively. I will say this and I may or may not be wrong but should Ephors be capitalized? It's a title right like King? I could be wrong but I figured I would throw it in here. I would go through and make sure you are capitalizing names and titles there are a few instances where a king is referred to and when it's used as a title it should be capitalized. Another thing is to make sure that your titles are capitalized both words it will look more balanced if bothe words in the section title are capitalized. 3. Coverage Balance I think your sections look great they are all relatively the same size and I think given the topic you did a great job of organizing and presenting the information. 4. Content Neutrality The neutrality is perfect when I was reading the article I did not get a sense you thought any one way about this group of people. I mean it's a little hard to care that much about it but still, the article does a good job of remaining neutral and just relaying the facts that we know about Ephors. 5. Sources You have a lot of references have you checked all of them? are they reliable? I checked a few and they looked good I obviously did not click on all of them but I think it would be a good thing to do for your to make sure they all work and take you to the right places. I did not see a notes section that could be helpful to include as well as a bibliography section. Francinewithaperm (talk) 21:17, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
