Beschreibung

"Three dates have been suggested for the celebration of the festival of Adonis at Athens, all of which have found adherents in recent years. Deubner, relying solely on the apparent evidence of vase-paintings, as interpreted by Hauser, placed the Adonia at the beginning of autumn. The only argument in favor of so late a date, that bunches of fresh grapes appeared in representations of the Îºá¿ Ï Î¿Î 'AÎ Ï Î½Î Î Î¿Ï ' was disposed of by Nock, who pointed out that grapes were also kept until the feast of Choes, Anthesterion 12." Reprint from Harvard Theological Review, Volume 31 , Issue 1 , January 1938 , pp. 65 - 72. 8-page article in stapled wraps. From private collection. Handrwiting on upper wrap. Edges of text block show some creasing and bends. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8591
