urn container to put ballots jlc - Ninth in the ninth. Finally we shall soon have peace. Perhaps no peace on earth, but in any case peace from greedy politicians who constantly lose new scruples in the battle for voters. Many of us made a choice today and let small piece of paper into a box. But why do we call a ballot box? As word democracy comes from the Greek, we have to ancient Greece for an explanation. Painted on a cups of wine from the 400s BCE. we see the story of Ajax and Odysseus, and how it was held a vote on which of them would inherit Achilles' armor. The people jlc voted by throwing pebbles into urns. We are no longer in line behind each other with our every pebble in the polling station, but it's nice that we can remember the old tradition of language. And in English it is actually possible to use psephology the doctrine of election. Psephos is the Greek word for pebbles.
