Spartan Mora regiments at Battle of Plataea
#92
Quote:Two ephors; two (if I'm not mistaken) of the four Pythioi; assorted hereditary flautists, heralds, and other mess-mates ...

Considering that "efordom" seemed to be "closed", add some form of patronage, even nepotism and you are probably right.
There were five infulential families in Laconia and the correspondance of the number of Ephors who were only accoundable only to their successors leaves a lot of room for thought.

Kind regards
