In the article you mention that Liantinis was "Deputy Professor of Philosophy in the areas of Education of Ancient and New Greek Literature". However in his biography at [1] it clearly states that he was "Professor at the School of Philosophy at the University of Athens" having served prior to receiving his PhD as "Teaching Assistant at the Laboratory of Education". After having read the corresponding page in Greek [2], it becomes apparent that Liantinis held many positions during his academic career, amongst which "Επίκουρος Καθηγητής" and "Αναπληρωτής Καθηγητής" which are the two highest academic ranks in Greece. That would be like "Distinguished Professor" or "Professor Emeritus" in the United States. I am not familiar with academic ranks in other countries but the way you describe his rank gives me the impression Liantinis was a second-rank professor. I've changed "Deputy" to "Distinguished" but I'm not sure what's the best way around this. -- 79.107.11.111 ( talk) 15:33, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
(outdent) I do not think I am being hostile. I am just pointing out that Wikipedia's policies are very clear about certain matters. Special Education is Ειδική Αγωγή in Greek. [15] Educational Studies is Επιστήμες Αγωγής. [16] We cannot translate it to "Agoge". We could not translate διδασκαλία as "Didactics" either. There are standard English translations for these words. Inventing new ones constitutes original research and synthesis. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 22:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
According to [17] Liantinis had instructed his cousin to reveal the location of the crypt where his remains could be found after seven years and no lethal substances were found to determine the cause of death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.107.11.111 ( talk) 15:19, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Under section "Greek vs Jewish culture", there is a big parentheses with what seems like a pretty personal opinion of the author, without any justification and/or citation.
(This somewhat common presupposition of the relation between the rise and confirmation of Christianity (in society) and Paganism, ought to be studied in great detail when considering the same relation in the east between Christians and Pagans; for the violence and harshness which characterises the western Christian stand against Paganism, bears little relevance to what occurred in the east. Therefore, it is perhaps his pro-enlightenment mentality that led Liantinis to suppose that the western Christian action toward Paganism was the same as the eastern Christian one.)
I would suggest to either remove this parentheses, or (better) to add a citation, either in or outside wikipedia regarding this difference of Western and Eastern Christianity.
