Date[edit]

Somewhat odd to credit it to Pythagoras without any archaeological or textual dating. Surely these didn't spring up in the 20th century to be sold to tourists! --Gwern (contribs) 14:53 25 January 2010 (GMT)

"tyrant Polycrates"[edit]

In ancient Greek, "tyrant" often just meant someone who didn't come to power either by inheriting a royal title or through a quasi-democratic process. It didn't necessarily mean that a "tyrant" couldn't be considered a good ruler... AnonMoos (talk) 09:39, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

tsi -> tis[edit]

That has to be "o kounenos tis dikaiosynis", if it's standard Attic, Koine, or Modern Greek. (ο κουνενος της δικαιοσύνης) The word της hasn't changed spelling in two thousand years, except for losing its accent. I don't know Cretan dialect or the word kounenos though. phma (talk) 07:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HE laundry detergent dispenser?[edit]

It looks to me like this is how a top-loading washing machine’s dispenser works for soap and bleach, allowing it to work without any valves that touch soap or bleach. Is this correct? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 14:24, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me like that is how it works, I was thinking of adding a section about it in here since it does not fit with [washing machine] Stephychavcar (talk) 16:34, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
