The redirect of this article, and stripping of all meaningful content was ill-considered. I've attempted to right this wrong. This is content that should be a stand-alone article and not get mixed up with whatever it is that the editors at Sycophancy have in their imagination - having made no effort whatsoever to provide content or sources to that article.

I'd like to see some scholarly references supporting the claim that Athens did not have a police force in the ancient times. As someone born and raised in Athens, Greece and having been educated in the Greek school system, I was always under the impression that the term "astynomia" (αστυνομία) = police comes from ancient Athens, exactly because there was a police force, indeed. Even though I am in favor of the notion that Athens, yes, did have a police force, I am open to any scholarly proof, therefore, searching for arguments in support of both side of the question, please do the same to clarify this.

News to me, I thought even if the person really does highly admire,and "worship" the person they'd also be one. Basically, a groveling parasite, someone who lowers themself and is highly psychologically dependent on the person's approval/good opinion of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.110.64 ( talk) 20:09, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

If one reads the reference to the French lexicon cited to illustrate the meaning of this word, one finds that it is actually closer to the English than to the Greek ( Pamour ( talk) 11:43, 31 December 2018 (UTC)).
