The strife of kingship was one Nikomachos did not take to naturally. His logic was sparse, and his reasoning often failed to identify overt solutions, yet Eurynome, his curious betrothed, why she had an eye for politics. Her life among court, although as a mere entertainer, had wrought her many appearances in the kingly chamber, as her gymnastics enthralled the men she kept a keen ear on their jabbering. From trade, to war, to personal grievances, the woman learnt how to navigate the politics of the Aegean without even having stepped on the oratory stage. She begged Nikomachos to divulge every Ekklesia meeting and every Ephorate debacle as she met their drama with succinct and mature management, but unfortunately her little bird was not one to actually rule or care for his region, instead, to live off its precedented wealth and assumption of obliviousness. His foolishness was a burden that only Eurynome could supersede, for as a bird of a paradise she could dance and dance to his song so that her own lyrics could overcome his own in a ventriloquist concerto.

Ephor

noun

(in ancient Greece) each of five senior Spartan magistrates.

[lifeintriplicate-blog]

The ephors (Greek Ἔφορος) (from the Greek ἐπί epi, "on" or "over", and ὁράω horaō, "to see", i.e. "one who oversees") were leaders of ancient Sparta and shared power with the Spartan kings. Five ephors were elected annually, who "swore on behalf of the city", while the kings swore for themselves.

Herodotus claimed that the institution was created by Lycurgus, while Plutarch considers it a later institution. It may have arisen from the need for governors while the kings were leading armies in battle. The ephors were elected by the popular assembly, and all citizens were eligible for election. They were forbidden to be reelected. They provided a balance for the two kings, who rarely cooperated with each other. Plato called them tyrants who ran Sparta as despots, while the kings were little more than generals. Up to two ephors would accompany a king on extended military campaigns as a sign of control, even gaining the ability to declare war at some points in Spartan history.

The ephors did not have to kneel down before the Kings of Sparta and were held in high esteem by the citizens, because of the importance of their powers and because of the holy role they earned throughout their functions. Since decisions were made by majority vote, this could mean that Sparta's policy could change quickly, when the vote of one ephor changed (e.g. in 403 BC when Pausanias convinced three of the ephors to send an army to Attica). This was a complete turnaround to the politics of Lysander.
