When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ Masoud Athena Ilias is correct! Leave as is! https://caba-acab.net/sites/default/files/basic-page/archaeo...
THE THEATER AT ILION: PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS: C. Brian Rose, University of Cincinnati
Although the theater of Ilion was partially excavated by
Schliemann and Blegen, it has been discussed only briefly
by scholars and it does not appear on most plans of the site.
... The building of the theater at this time
seems to be related to the contemporaneous establishment
of the koinon of **Athena Ilias**, which would have needed a
large theater for the celebration of its "Panathenaic" festival
at Ilion.

The name of the temple should not be translated.

Ilias or...

I would leave the name untranslated but with capiatals letters

If absolutely necessary perhaps say the Temple of Athena at (ancient) Troy

I don't see this as being non-Pro. Yes, I believed it to be a name (because of the capitals), but not one I'd seen before so I had to check. Certainly not something people would know "off the top of their head"
Peer comment(s):

agree writeaway : Obviously and Asker already has it in caps
