[edit] Xenophon's Oeconomicus
Just a note to include this work in this article... Pjmc 12:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguate?
Would a disambiguation of the ancient Greek social concept and the modern social concept better server both? PoptartKing 20:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oikos as Hellenistic technical term
I'm not sure where you plan to go with expanding this article, but the word oikos was a technical astrological term (beginning circa 2nd century BCE). An 'oikos' was the sign of the zodiac in which a planet was in its own home (e.g., Venus in Taurus). This placement gave the planet some sort of prominence in the chart, and it was used in a variety of astrological techniques. In Mithraism the oikos or hupsoma of a planet may have been used in symbolism borrowing from the popular astrological doctrine.
Should I add this information or is it far afield?
There is also the popular Stoic philosophy term 'oikeosis', but I suppose this as well as the patristic 'oikonomia' belong in separate articles.

[edit] Oikos
Is Oikos capitalized? Sometimes in the article it is, and sometimes it isn't. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 10:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] kyrios
The link, kyrios, in the section about men, redirects to Yahweh. I removed the link code. Clinton (talk) 01:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
