Athens had a large council of 500 with 50 on duty 24/7 to handle any contingency which arose. The number of Councillors was necessary as they were chosen by lot from amongst all the citizens, without regard to their capabilities - having large numbers was based on the odds of there being a good chance that there would be competent people amongst them to offset the dummos. So having a smaller council would have been very risky.
