[edit] Proposed merger with sacred grove

I'm against the merge. The reason is that sacred groves are cross-cultural phenomena while temenoi are specific to ancient Greece; further, a temenos is not necessarily a grove, it's any parcel of land dedicated to a god/hero. --Akhilleus (talk) 14:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Against. Not all temenoi had groves; moreover, the term appears in Linear B as the parcel of land and it means parcel of land.Dave (talk) 17:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Against. A sacred grove is just a subset of temenos and temenos can have different forms from a sacred grov. Mdebets (talk) 10:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
