Talk:Lion of Amphipolis

Untitled
TONGUE Do we really need to cite a news article that offers no scholarly sources but an "opinion" that the lion is tongueless to keep a secret? Giant monuments are not usually constructed for the purpose of secret-keeping, and I can find no evidence, after reading the cited article in Greek, that this opinion is widely held, or attributed to someone with particularly scholarly credentials. Perhaps the section should be worded, "One newspaper article opines that the tongue was omitted to keep the lion's "mystery." 68.14.83.74 (talk)Lucretius6 — Preceding undated comment added 03:43, 17 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree; perhaps if the text was worded better and there was a better source I could agree to keep, but for the time being I've removed it Gts-tg (talk) 17:21, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
