Krypteria[edit]

Krypteria redirects here. What about the musical project (de:Krypteria)?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.234.44.170 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 4 May 2006

So write it - there, and include a dab header. Septentrionalis 20:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wallon[edit]

Could you please give a full reference for the Wallon citation. Thanks. Twospoonfuls 09:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Agreed, came here to post this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.229.201.180 (talk) 22:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After some quick online searching, I believe the reference is to Henri Wallon Explication d'un passage de Plutarque sur une loi de Lycurgue nommée la Cryptie (fragment d'une Histoire des Institutions politiques de la Grèce) (1850) according to this website dedicated to Wallon: http://www.henriwallon.com/Ecrits_de_Henri_Wallon/BD/DW%20B03%20D07plus.htm

Use Google Translate to get a gist of it if you don't speak French (I don't).

Koechly[edit]

'Others (Koechly, Wachsmuth) believe it to be a military training, similar to the Athenian ephebia. Jeanmaire points out that that this bushranger life has no common point with the disciplined and well-ordered communal life (see homonoia) of the Spartan hoplite;' this seems to me to miss the point. the crypteia was used to test and train future leaders who be operarating outside the phalanx ( at least in politics ). 217.7.209.108 10:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Modern sources?[edit]

I'm a bit concerned about the Koechly (1835), Wachsmuth (1844) and Wallon (1850) sources. Are they still valid and recognised or (as with much 19th century history) more interesting in a historiographic context?
