Leontis

Leontis is a phyle which had twenty demes at the time of the creation of the phyle, which is at the time of the creation of a group of ten phylai.[1]

The phyle is shown on the base of a statue made after an anthippasia to commemorate the victory of the phyle at the mock battle.[2]

Themistocles belonged to this phyle.[3]

Two horse-men are listed as part of the Catalogus Hippeum in history who possibly belonged to this phyle, they were Euktimenos and Euthymenes, both living during the 3rd century B.C.E.[4][5]

gollark: I think to some extent new technology can force change.
gollark: It's a giant coordination problem. Coordinating change is difficult and you need to coordinate to do much.
gollark: Anyway, while I don't agree with your views at all, it is interesting to discuss things with someone who thinks very differently, so thanks.
gollark: It is probably an improvement on average, at least.
gollark: The current system, whatever you label it, works fairly well. There are definitely problems. So many problems. Also lots of room for significant improvements without getting rid of it all. But it works decently well without requiring everyone to magically get along fine and the world is steadily increasing in prosperity.
