what about...

Greek city-state governments contrasted to today's democratic societies? focusing moreso on the aspect of structure of the bureaucracy in being either closed or open.

Would it also make sense that coming from the bards tales that the bards would clean them up a bit for a wider audience? Which would account for why it would be left out when later wrote down because after a time the information simply ceased to exist.

It depends if the name was easily transferrable, in terms of syllables. I forget what the boys name is traditionally, but oh well. Since it was so tough to mess around with the syllabic pattern, most bards wouldn't have changed it (maybe a thing here or there) which is why it made it to Homer so well (there's little things that point out it was from the correct time period and stuff). Its possible though.

I hate ancient law. I had to do a paper on a similar topic already, and I'd rather slit my wrists than do it again. Thanks though.

I'm really bad at government stuff, for some reason my brain just turns off when learning it.
