I moved this comment (added 23 feb 2009) from the article to here.[1] This point shouldn't be made in the article itself, although the information in the article does seem to be incorrect. Read here for another decription of the building. Joris (talk) 09:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The person who wrote the text below is illeterate, to say the least and stay polite. The expression "basileios stoa" is nonsence in Greek. There has neven been a "basilike stoa" in Athens or any other place in Greece, at least not in the last 4,000 years of recorded Greek history. The word "archon" is not the name of a king but a title; archon means something like leader (Fuehrer in German, the title given to Adolf Hitler). archon derives from "arche" which means begin, origin, beginning, leadership. Archon (today people say minister) was the title of any of the 10 members of the Athenian government, elected yearly. Themis does not represent Justice. Themis is the name of the Goddess responsible for what is called in English justice. The Romans took over the Greek religion and therefore Themis. They gave, of course, Latin name to the Gods and Goddesses. For Themis thet chose the name Justitia from which justice derives.

You see, it is not enough to know how to press the buttons on the thing idiotically called "mouse" to be a Historian. Unless one is not interested in History but only in cheap propaganda and distortion of facts.

Incorrect Greek[edit]

Στοὰ *βασίλεια is incorrect following the Greek accentuation laws, it would be βασιλεία. What is the source for this? The common adjective is βασιλική. 76.14.8.195 (talk) 15:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See Agora III for a full list, but also LSJ Furius (talk) 08:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

βασίλειος is here a two-termination adjective, hence βασίλειος rather than βασιλεία. Basilike isn't used for this structure, perhaps because it sounded too monarchical? Furius (talk) 09:46, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
