If I’m understanding the chronophone correctly, the thing is that what comes out cannot be anachronistic. Maybe I’m not. If I’m understanding it as a strategy-conveying phone, then it would just tell Archimedes that you’re trying to trick him into believing an anachronism.
Personally I’d eagerly chirp about awesome technology like nanobots and solar power and high-speed trains that so many countries seem to be ignoring right now, and hope that it would pick up the kind of stuff Hero of Alexandria was doing with steam and such. (Although this might not work. It’s such a shame that he came after Archimedes). It would be very interesting to see how this would turn out in conjunction with the whole space travel --> naval expansion idea...
It seems more likely to come out as an argument for some practice that had been given up as immoral in his time. i.e. human sacrifice, which I believe was no longer part of Greek religion by that time.

No, it’d tell him that you’re arguing against the local belief structure regarding slavery. In his time, it’d be an argument against slavery.
