Talk:Molon labe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm sure someone knows how to pronounce this, as well as the dialect of Greek it represents. These could be useful additions to the article.

Shouldn't this be mentioned on Battle of Thermopylae? I don't know enough about the history of the battle to integrate it. Lord Bodak 13:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

I feel like the last sentence regarding "setbacks" to the pro-RKBA movement violates NPOV. It could be convincingly argued on both sides. I'm removing it.Admiralahab 01:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I added to the See Also a mention of the book Molon Labe, but I am not sure how to link it best. An article needs to be written on the book, so how should that book show up? The phrase is far more popular than the book, so it seems like a disambiguation page would not be the best idea. Should there be a disambiguation note at the top of the article? Should the article on the book be titled Molon Labe (novel)?

The first I'd heard the phrase was in the movie "300 Spartans" when Richard Egan says it to the Persian emissary. There's a clip that's posted with some regularity of him saying it.

[edit] The Greek letters

I changed the Greek letters, because it wasn't accurate. The first was just in capital letters, which is common in Greece for brands and merchandise, the second was in lowercase letters. The good combination is Μολὼν Λαβέ. --Soetermans 23:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
